From fragmentation to bankability: unlocking wind investment at scale

Inconsistent due‑diligence standards remain one of the most significant barriers to scaling investment in climate‑resilient infrastructure. Fragmented environmental, social and governance (ESG), technical, and supply‑chain assessments slow transactions, increase risk premiums and limit capital flows.

This session will introduce a Unified Due‑Diligence Framework for Bankable Wind Projects, developed jointly with the Global Wind Energy Council, EBRD, and leading industry partners. The framework harmonises requirements across multilateral development banks and commercial finance institutions, providing a practical, scalable tool to accelerate investments in resilient renewable energy assets.

By making climate, supply‑chain and ESG risks transparent and comparable, it enables climate resilience finance by improving risk pricing, reducing uncertainty and enabling capital allocation to wind projects as predictable, resilience‑enhancing infrastructure.
