Link: IDB Group Launches Reinvest+: Going Where the Money Is to Unlock Private Climate Finance

In conversation with the upcoming COP30 summit where climate finance has been identified as a central component and theme for the upcoming summit, the IDB is kicking off a new initiative called Reinvest+ in partnership with SB COP and the Brazilian COP30 Presidency. Reinvest+ aims to bridge the global financial markets to spur adaptation and mitigation projects in developing countries. The central goal of the work is to unlock private capital by scaling local loans and climate finance. In order to do this, Reinvest+ builds off of seasoned loans, converts them into investment-grade securities by diversifying them and enhancing them with commercially priced portfolio insurance, recycles capital through conditionality where loans are purchased only if proceeds address climate goals, and empowers local banks to reinvest. The IDB group also has launched a call for proposals for partners interested in joining the initiative and purchasing assets in this upcoming year.
