This invite-only roundtable, focused on Brazil and the Brazilian Investment Platform (BIP), will explore how both international and domestic insurance sectors can work more strategically to increase project bankability so unlocking greater & faster flows of climate finance. By innovating with a broad range of existing insurance mechanisms, the aim is to significantly increase the bankability of mitigation, adaptation, and resilience projects. With the potential to quickly increase bankability and therefore finance flows by as much as 40%.

The discussion will centre on an understanding of risk barriers to investment – credit, policy, physical, technology, and others, and how existing risk transfer products can be adapted, evolved, and applied more comprehensively to BIP project pipelines. The session will highlight with real world examples how early, strategic collaboration between project developers, investors, banks and the insurance sector can transform the financial viability of climate projects and accelerate both domestic and international capital flows.

We are looking to CoP30 to help deliver a practical and efficient model for much more effective engagement of the international insurance sector through investment mechanisms such as country investment platforms (“Country Platforms”) using the Brazilian Investment Platform as an exemplar pilot.  This can serve as a blueprint for the derisking of projects and investment flows mobilised through “Country Platforms” being developed by numerous countries as a mechanism for enabling investment plans to finance NDCs and NAPs pursuant to the Paris Agreement.
