Sixth meeting of the Roundtable on Financing Water
The 6th meeting (by invitation only) of the Roundtable on Financing Water was a regional meeting focused on Europe organised in partnership with the OECD and the European Investment Bank (EIB). The regional meeting of the Roundtable supported OECD’s broader work on financing water as well as EIB’s strategic priorities, commitment and increased ambition on climate action and environmental sustainability.
Aim of the Roundtable on Financing Water
The Roundtable on Financing Water is a joint initiative of the OECD, the Netherlands, the World Water Council and the World Bank. The Roundtable provides a global public - private platform drawing upon political leadership and technical expertise, with the ambition of facilitating increased financing of investments that contribute to water security and sustainable growth.
The Roundtable engages a diversity of actors – governments and regulators in developed, emerging and developing economies, private financiers (e.g. institutional investors, commercial banks, asset managers, impact investors), development financing institutions, bi-lateral donors, international organisations, academia and civil society organisations – focused on finding novel ideas and solutions.
