I contributed to a Responsible Investor article examining whether blended finance can scale climate investment in emerging markets. I discussed how aggregation and originate-to-distribute models can make assets more investable, while MDBs and DFIs can also deepen local capital markets and strengthen the conditions for replicable investment and development impact.

Speaking at the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain's Carbon Forum in Barcelona, I will explore how carbon markets can move beyond offsetting to mobilise capital into real-economy investments. The focus is on linking growing demand for carbon credits with scalable opportunities in the blue economy and sustainable infrastructure.

I recently began a new chapter as Principal Research Fellow and Head of the Centre for Private Finance in Development at ODI Global. At a time when development challenges are intensifying and public resources are increasingly constrained, mobilising private capital has become a central priority for the global development system.
