Episode 3 part 1: Eduardo Freitas — Why do climate investment plans often struggle to translate ambition into actual finance?

In Episode 3 (Part 1) of our National Transitions Plans video series, Eduardo Freitas draws on more than two decades of experience in climate finance, including nearly ten years at the Green Climate Fund, to examine the gap between planning, implementation and finance at scale.

The conversation explores the importance of bankable pipelines, institutional capacity, country platforms and meaningful risk mitigation to unlock private finance.

The key takeaway: Climate investment plans are necessary but insufficient on their own.
