[underline] SGG Small Outreach Events[/underline]
Since 2012, the CPI climate finance team, led by Dr. Barbara Buchner, have held outreach events with some of the key actors in climate finance. These events took place in Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, New York, Washington, DC and London with the support of the World Bank and Citigroup. The events provided an opportunity for dialogue among interested participants to refine the San Giorgio Group’s approach to the analysis of public and private financing in real world cases. The Group’s ultimate goal is to ensure that the financing of green and low-emission development becomes more than just a marginal phenomenon.
