1. With its global reach and sec- toral breadth, the GIF can develop diversified climate investment portfolios across regions and infra- structure sectors, catering to the needs of private investors looking for scale and risk diversification. 2. The GIF has extensive experi- ence in moving from preparing infrastructure projects to develop- ing investment programmes based on standardisation, replication and learning across geographies, sectors and partners. It can scale up its country platform approaches to convene all relevant ecosys- tem partners at the country level to accelerate the development of bankable investment opportuni- ties. 3. The GIF can broaden its tech- nical partner base to leverage all ecosystem channels for invest- ment pipeline creation, including regional and national development banks. 4. Through the G20 Infrastructure Working Group and as a collabora- tive public-private platform, the GIF contributes to knowledge exchange on critical topics of sustainable infrastructure finance, such as addressing foreign exchange risk in infrastructure. As a public-private collabora- tion platform, the GIF can anchor a systemic ecosystem approach to transforming pipeline development and accelerate the creation of diver- sified global infrastructure portfolios for private investors. The G20’s Inde- pendent Expert Group 2023 report recognised it as a gateway to scale for private capital mobilisation and called for its role to be revamped and expanded.
tions – a replicable blueprint for adding in multiple municipalities. The challenge also lies in rapidly mobilising funds via new avenues of private capital and for less mature low-carbon technologies, which strug- gle to attract private investment due to unfavourable risk-return profiles. Carbon markets are part of the solu- tion by boosting the efficiency of energy transitions and raising money for clean energy projects, especially in the developing world. The GIF has pro- vided technical and funding support in preparing projects to enable EMDEs to access voluntary carbon markets. At COP28, it supported the launch of the Carbon Action Forum, which connects potential buyers and sellers in identi- fying the challenges in carbon markets and collaborating on solutions to scale these markets. Country platforms are useful for translating opportunities into action for the energy transition. The GIF has partnered with EMDE governments and investors in collaborative trilat- eral country platforms dedicated to identifying and maturing climate investment at scale. Bringing together government officials, international and national development banks, and local and foreign private investors to mature policy and regulatory frame- works and co-create public-private partnerships and investment solutions unlocks access to local and interna- tional private finance at scale. As a G20 initiative, the GIF can act as an honest broker for transforma- tive private investment in the energy transition in collaboration with the broader ecosystem. Its unique position and updated strategy provide a gate- way to scale for private investment in climate-smart infrastructure in EMDEs via several strategic approaches:
