PRIVATE CAPITAL MOBILIZATION
Closing the climate and sustainable development financing gap in developed and developing markets.
ILN’s Private Capital Moblization initiative aims to direct more private capital into the markets, technologies, and themes that are critical to support the Paris Agreement and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Through this initiative, ILN members collaborate across sectors to improve the pipeline of investment-ready, sustainability-aligned projects from emerging and developing countries, as well as to improve the partnerships, vehicles and platforms in the blended finance ecosystem.

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.
