The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is a member of the World Bank Group and the largest development organisation worldwide focused on the private sector in emerging and developing economies. Amundi is a leading European asset manager involved in sustainable finance.        

Emerging markets face a significant financing gap in responding to their development needs, exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. Central banks and their sovereign investors are looking for ways to integrate sustainable investment into their investment portfolios while respecting their financial stability objectives.
