In the journey to go greener, infrastructure can be a powerful tool for fair and sustainable economic growth when done right. 

But, with differences across the world when it comes to definitions for sustainable infrastructure, alongside other challenges such as regulatory, political, and exchange rate risks, development of such infrastructure itself is challenging. This can lead to complex project preparation and reporting requirements, making sustainable infrastructure projects harder to finance, especially in emerging markets.

On this episode of Eco Money, Lori Kerr, CEO of FinDev Canada - Canada’s bilateral Development Finance Institution, supporting development by providing financing, investment, and blended finance solutions, as well as technical assistance and knowledge, to promote sustainable and inclusive growth in emerging markets and developing economies - shares her insights.
