Role of CSR in Blended Finance for Climate Action in India

The India Climate Collaborative is hosting an exclusive corporate session on “The Role of CSR in Blended Finance for Climate Action in India”, in collaboration with The Blended Finance Company at the India CSR & ESG Summit in New Delhi.

​India’s climate finance gap remains a critical challenge, and while Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds are limited in comparison to government spending, they hold immense potential as catalytic capital within blended finance models. These funds can de-risk climate investments, drawing in larger private and public capital to scale up climate action.

Please refer to the tentative agenda below:

There is a pressing need for all stakeholders in the ecosystem to better understand the landscape of blended finance in the development sector. This will help build the capacities of various players, including funders, implementation agencies, and think tanks, to fully harness the potential of blended finance. 

​This exclusive panel discussion cum roundtable will bring together corporate leaders and CSR professionals to explore the role of CSR in advancing blended finance for climate action in India. Through strategic discussions, participants will gain actionable insights into leveraging CSR to accelerate climate projects, with a focus on successful models, scaling impact, and immediate intervention areas.
