Analyze climate and biodiversity finance strategies for mobilizing funds to developing countries. Well-designed climate and biodiversity finance mechanisms (such as the Climate Fund and the Amazon Fund in Brazil), can catalyze investments and drive economic development while addressing inequalities. Multilateral organizations, development banks and global green funds are key to raising funds and strengthening partnerships in climate and biodiversity finance for the Global South.

BNDES and the Brazilian Ministry of Environment and Climate Change can showcase the financing model of Brazilian Climate Fund and of the Amazon Fund, while supported intitutions in the climate and biosiversity sectors (including blue economy) as well as technical experts could provide additional perspective on challenges and solutions in the sectors in the Global South, exploring how models could be replicated.

Objective: Present CAF’s Agricultural Prosperity Strategy and progress in its implementation, and discuss how risk-sharing across agricultural value chains can unlock investment and sustain access to credit, supporting productivity, competitiveness, climate resilience and food security.

Content: The session will follow three sequential blocks: (1) a brief presentation of the Strategy, its priorities and CAF’s financial and technical value proposition; (2) an overview of progress during 2025–2026 in financing, technical cooperation and strategic partnerships; and (3) a discussion on “Who assumes what risk?”, focusing on how risks are allocated among producers, agribusinesses, financial institutions and the public sector, and on arrangements to sustain investment and agricultural credit when multiple risks materialize together.
Expected outcomes: A clear understanding of CAF’s strategic priorities and implementation progress; identification of key risk-sharing challenges affecting investment and credit across agricultural value chains; and identification of opportunities for collaboration on financing and risk management aligned with the Strategy.

ational development banks (NDBs) are one of the key strategic actors for translating national climate investment ambitions into investment by bridging the gap between the public and private sector.

This session focuses on the role of NDBs in the implementation of national transition financing plans in developing countries. Using country case studies, it highlights NDBs’ alignment with national climate investment plans and how NDBs have mobilised investments to support climate action. This discussion will allow NDBs and national climate finance actors from both public and private sectors to benefit by learning about how NDBs have been embedded into national climate investment plans, contributing to closer alignment with national priorities, long-term programmatic planning and project implementation.

The session will launch FiCS Energy Transition Coalition’s workplan and welcome its new members. Building on the outcomes of COP30 in Belém and looking ahead to COP32 in Addis Ababa, it will discuss why it matters for institutions from different regions to come together on the energy transition. The aim is to strengthen collaboration among members and partners and to explore how the Coalition can best support a fair and accelerated transition. This is an opportunity to showcase how the members are shaping the Coalition, and how this can help accelerate a fair energy transition.
