Financing the green transition: The role of private-public collaborations - 10 June 2024
Given the scale of investment required for the green transition, countries worldwide, including Sweden, are seeking efficient strategies to draw private investment for infrastructure and technology innovations. Elevating the private sector's role offers the opportunity to scale up investment in projects aimed at climate change mitigation and adaptation.
However, the nature of the interaction is complex and requires attention to establish transparency, reflect long-term fiscal costs, and adequately balance risks across sectors. This task, while challenging, is essential for an alliance that benefits multiple stakeholders.
Swedish House of Finance, in collaboration with Stockholm School of Economics’ Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets (Misum) and House of Innovation, welcomes you to a discussion on financing of the green transition. During the seminar, the issue will be addressed from different perspectives: academia’s evidence-based findings, policy framework, and insights from leaders in the finance industry.
