Session

Financing Methane Mitigation: Mobilizing Capital.

Topic: 3. Competitiveness and Low Methane-Intensity Energy Chains
Session information

Methane emissions mitigation is increasingly becoming a strategic priority for the energy transition, competitiveness, and energy security in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, turning this priority into implementable and scalable projects remains a challenge, particularly due to barriers related to financing, institutional capacities, access to information, and risk perception.

In this context, the discussion is no longer focused solely on identifying available resources, but also on understanding which enabling conditions can mobilize investment toward mitigation solutions. Information transparency, trust-building, and risk reduction are becoming key elements to accelerate investment decisions and expand the scale of action.

The session will bring together international perspectives on climate finance, regional cooperation, corporate action, and public policy. Through these perspectives, the panel will analyze how different actors are contributing to creating more favorable conditions for channeling capital toward emissions reduction projects and strategies.

The panel aims to provide a strategic perspective on how to build more reliable, coordinated, and prepared ecosystems capable of accelerating methane mitigation at scale, while simultaneously strengthening energy resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable development across the region.
