Climate finance is a key enabler of sustainable transformation in the Mediterranean, where countries face shared challenges such as water scarcity, energy transition, and climate-resilient infrastructure. Saudi Arabia’s growing leadership in green finance and carbon market development offers valuable lessons for the wider region. Ecocode, a Saudi sustainability consultancy, has been pioneering innovative mechanisms to measure, reduce, and compensate carbon emissions through green investments and capacity-building programs. This session aims to connect Mediterranean and Gulf perspectives, exploring how financial innovation, public-private partnerships, and policy frameworks can accelerate just, inclusive, and climate-resilient growth across the region.
This session will explore innovative climate finance models that can accelerate sustainable development across the Mediterranean region. Drawing from Saudi Arabia’s experience and Ecocode’s expertise, the discussion will highlight practical pathways to mobilize green investments, enhance regional collaboration, and support low-carbon growth strategies.
