Invite only, closed-door roundtable
Istanbul, Türkiye
Taking place in the lead-up to COP31, this high-level, invitation only, closed door roundtable, convened by the OECD and Country Platforms Hub, will bring together senior representatives from governments, public development banks, development finance institutions, investors, financiers and project developers.
The discussion will explore emerging lessons from the design and implementation of country platforms for climate action and sustainable development, including the role of governance, country ownership and financing ecosystems in mobilising public and private capital.
Rob Patalano Executive Director of CETEx, and Marta Kozielska Private Capital Mobilisation Impact Lead, will participate in the roundtable, contributing CETEx’s expertise on private capital mobilisation and the role of effective financing approaches in supporting climate and sustainable development objectives.
In particular, we will draw on the blended finance work at CETEx which focuses on addressing the institutional, market and policy constraints that continue to limit private capital mobilisation for climate action and sustainable development in EMDEs. We will also take forward the discussions and priorities established at the Blended Finance Lab Symposium (September 2026), with focus on strengthening collaboration and coordination across the financing ecosystem and improving the use and effectiveness of blended finance and risk mitigation instruments. This will include sharing practical approaches and solutions emerging from our work, such as the Credit Ratings Sandbox for blended finance, which seeks to address barriers to credit ratings and improve understanding of the ratings process. In doing so, we aim to contribute practical insights on how Country Platforms can be made as effective as possible in bringing together domestic and international financing partners, strengthening market infrastructure and supporting the enabling policy conditions needed to mobilise private capital at scale.
