Launching LAGreen at COP26 – How a solid green bond market in Latin America can support in fighting climate change

This event will present LAGreen as an innovative public-private partnership fund, initiated by KfW with seed investments from BMZ and the EU-LAIF.

LAGreen is a new and innovative financing mechanism created to mobilize private capital for climate friendly investments in Latin America. The fund aims to foster the issuance of green bonds, closing the financing gap, in order to reach climate change goals and protect biodiversity.
