Solutions for Energy and Resilience: Project and Pipeline Development in the Pacific Region
Navigating and accessing climate finance to unlock critical funding and mobilize investments at scale and at pace continues to be a major challenge for Pacific Islands. While most of the conversation on access considers the ‘supply side’, a major pain point for the Pacific remains the countries’ and Direct Access Entities’ ability to put forward high quality projects and build robust pipelines at national and regional levels. While countries are clear on their priorities and many concept notes have been formulated, a majority of projects still fail in the early stages of the project development process or stall for years, accentuating perceived risk by investors. This panel discussion at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, aims to emphasize possible practical solutions to project preparation, development and de-risking for the Pacific region.
