"Throughout the sessions, we have explored innovative financial solutions, the critical role of foreign direct investment, and the transformative potential of public-private partnerships. The discussions have underscored the importance of leveraging both public and private capital to bridge the climate finance gap, which exceeds $1 trillion, and to amplify public sector investments.
