Levoca

Super excited to talk about ways to finance #SDG14 during this year's Financial Inclusion Week! Join us this Friday October 18 (which is twice as exciting because it happens to be my birthday). To me, blue finance stands out as one of the toughest challenges in climate finance. The oceans are a shared resource for all 8 billion of us, making them ground zero for the "free rider" dilemma. The question of "who will pay the bill?" remains largely unanswered for marine conservation. That’s why we need to design financial instruments capable of mobilizing private and public capital at the scale required. Join us on this discussion, where I will share insights from Levoca's oceans finance practice 🌊, emerging opportunities and lessons learned. Happy to discuss with Carlos Arango, Anindita Chakraborty and WTW Register and listen-in here: https://lnkd.in/eHE2kdCT Levoca Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) #FINCLUSIONWEEK Diane Faith Kate
