Launching a New Solution to De-risk Carbon Markets | The World Bank Group at COP29

High-integrity carbon markets have the potential to deliver an impactful triple bottom-line – imperative climate action, development outcomes, and private capital mobilization. Unfortunately, these markets are suffering from a significant trust deficit. For over 35 years, MIGA’s guarantees have bred trust. Join us for the launch of MIGA’s letter of authorization template administered by the WBG Guarantee Platform, a public good for securing insurability rights and standardizing host government commitments to investors.
