Bridging the climate finance gap: lessons from Turkey's road to COP31

3 September 2026, 3:00 PM BST

Emerging markets sit at the centre of the global climate finance challenge – needing trillions in transition capital while facing growing exposure to mechanisms like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and evolving carbon pricing.

Run in partnership with Environmental Finance, this webinar draws on DenizBank's experience as one of Turkey's leading sustainable finance bank to explore how financial institutions in emerging and frontier markets can close the financing gap, manage carbon-border and transition risk, and mobilise blended capital through multilateral development banks (MDBs).
