Project preparation remains one of the most significant bottlenecks in translating climate commitments into implementation. Despite growing support, developing countries continue to face a fragmented landscape of facilities, weak links between preparation and financing, and limited capacity to develop investment-ready projects.  

Bringing together governments, climate funds, development finance institutions, and project preparation providers, this event will explorehighlight how actors can work more effectively together to strengthen country ownership, improve coordination across the project preparation ecosystem, and accelerate the development of bankable climate investment pipelines.
