Mobilizing capital at scale is a central challenge of global energy development. This session examines energy and infrastructure finance from the perspectives of risk, investment, and policy, covering project finance, blended finance, green bonds, carbon pricing mechanisms, and the roles of multilateral development banks, DFIs, and institutional investors. Attention is given to large-scale infrastructure and energy-intensive, hard-to-abate sectors, including mining, metals, cement, and industrial processing, where capital intensity, long asset lives, and policy uncertainty complicate transition pathways. The discussion explores carbon pricing and border adjustment mechanisms as drivers of industrial competitiveness and investment decisions, alongside risk allocation, policy credibility, and financing conditions in emerging and developing economies, with a focus on how financial structures can support both decarbonization and competitiveness.
