PUBLIC–PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (P3)
Closing the climate and sustainable development financing gap in developed and developing markets.
Through the P3 Advisory Committee, ILN members focus on the practical conditions required to mobilize institutional capital at scale, including policy design, permitting frameworks, blended finance structures, and long-term infrastructure planning. Current areas of focus include frontier investment themes such as natural capital, affordable and resilient housing, and infrastructure systems essential to long-term economic resilience.
The P3 Committee serves as a platform for asset owner–asset manager dialogue, enabling candid exchange on real-world investment barriers and solutions. These conversations are advanced both through ILN-hosted forums and through engagement at major global stages, including COP, Climate Week, Davos, and the World Bank–IMF Meetings, where ILN helps elevate the institutional investor perspective in policy-adjacent discussions.
In parallel, ILN plays a facilitative role in global public–private collaboration. In 2025, ILN supported the launch of the G7 Infrastructure Investment Council, working alongside FinDev Canada, development finance institutions, and investor partners to help shape the structures, vehicles, and market intelligence needed to deploy private capital into commercially viable, resilient infrastructure.
RESOURCES
In October 2021, ILN and The Rockefeller Foundation published a ‘blueprint’ to increase blended finance partnerships titled, “Investing in Emerging and Frontier Economies: How Blended Finance can make the most of public funding.” The report identifies seven specific actions that the public sector can take over the short, medium, and long term to increase private investors’ ability to participate in blended finance partnerships.

ROUNDTABLES
The Investor Leadership Network regularly convenes roundtables with leaders from key public and private financial institutions to discuss the feasibility of new partnerships, programs and facilities that could increase private institutional investment in markets critical to the green transition. Such roundtables to date have been held with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry in London; DFIs, MDBs, and heads of foundations in Washington, D.C. and at COP27 in Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt; Deputy Secretary General Amina Mohammed, Ambassador Bob Rae, and Ambassador Martin Hermann at the United Nations; and senior representatives from the United States Treasury.
