CEBRI launches a series of talks: “Development Banks in the Green Transition”
- 09 october 2024
In discussions about reforms in multilateral institutions, there is pressure for organizations like the World Bank to broaden their focus on sustainable development. However, the financial needs to achieve these goals far exceed the capacities of the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). In this context, how can the guidelines of international banks be aligned with the available capital of national investment banks and their knowledge of national contexts?
To explore the topic, CEBRI is launching its new podcast: “Development Banks in the Green Transition”. This podcast is a product of the project "Enhancing Resource Mobilization for Sustainable Investments through Multilateral Development Banks Partnerships with National Development Banks," a partnership between the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI) and the Center for Global Development (CGD).
In six episodes, Rogério Studart, Senior Fellow at CEBRI and specialist in macroeconomics, welcomes national and international guests to discuss the nuances of the green transition, sustainable development, the role of finance in promoting it, and particularly how development banks, working together, can help accelerate such a transition.
