Sarah Leugers, CGO at Gold Standard, will speak at the session Designing the Next Asset Class: Climate-Linked Private Debt during the Summit

Institutional investors increasingly seek climate-aligned debt financing opportunities in emerging markets, yet systemic barriers, from FX volatility to fragmented deal flow, prevent capital inflows. This session explores how de-risking tools, blended finance structures, and Article 6 carbon credit monetization can unlock scalable SDG investment pathways and catalyze private capital injection into high-impact, frontier market projects.
