The challenge of unlocking climate finance for small enterprises is real. Despite substantial funding allocated globally, it's not reaching where it's needed most. We're bridging the gap between financiers and SMEs to ensure that capital reaches those on the frontline of climate vulnerability. Our coordinated suite of solutions brings together multilateral development banks, pension funds, and other financiers to support SMEs in their transition to greener practices. Together, we can meet the Paris Agreement's targets and foster sustainable development. At Peercarbon, we're empowering Schools in our green finance programs with the resources and support they need to adopt green technologies and practices. Join us in creating a greener, more sustainable future for all! #ClimateFinance #GreenTransition #SustainableFuture

In a recent interview with KPMG Switzerland, our Chief Client and Investment Solutions Officer, Stephanie Bilo, discusses the critical role of blended finance in bridging the climate financing gap in emerging markets. She explains how public, philanthropic, and private capital can work together to de-risk investments and mobilize funding for impactful projects.   Key takeaways: ✅ Transition finance is key to decarbonizing "hard-to-abate" sectors like steel and cement. ✅ Blended finance creates opportunities in regions perceived too risky, accelerating progress toward net zero. ✅ responsAbility has successfully mobilized capital in high-impact projects globally.   🌿 Learn more about how responsAbility is shaping the future of sustainable finance 👇 #ImpactInvesting #TransitionFinance #ClimateFinance #SustainableInvesting #BlendedFinance #EmergingMarkets #NetZero

In a rapidly warming world, mobilizing private investment for climate finance is no longer a choice—it’s an imperative. As highlighted by Dr. Stephanie Bilo from responsAbility Investments AG, transition finance plays a pivotal role in decarbonizing high-emission sectors like steel, cement, and energy. Blended finance, with its capacity to de-risk investments, bridges the gap by attracting private capital to initiatives in emerging markets. With an estimated $5-7 trillion needed annually to hit net-zero by 2050, blending public and private funds is essential for success. 🌱 Blended finance doesn’t just unlock capital—it provides solutions where traditional funding falls short. By mitigating perceived risks, particularly in emerging economies, it enables impactful investments that both reduce emissions and enhance resilience. As Bilo emphasizes, the time to scale these strategies is now. Investors must look beyond short-term returns and consider the long-term environmental and societal impacts of their investments. 🌿 #ClimateFinance #TransitionFinance #BlendedFinance #SustainableInvesting #NetZero2050 #ImpactInvesting #ESG #PrivateCapital #Decarbonization #EmergingMarkets
