About
Join our presenters as they unpack the emerging opportunities to leverage green finance for sustainable investment across the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB). Drawing on international developments and investor perspectives, the webinar explores:
- Opportunities and barriers in accessing green finance.
- The viability and design of alternative green finance models.
Key Highlights
- A significant and rapidly expanding pool of green finance, spanning philanthropic, private investment and banking sectors, is available to support MDB development.
- Investors are showing growing interest in decarbonisation and broader sustainability‑focused opportunities across the Basin.
- Typical investor requirements include measurable outcomes, projects with scale, low‑risk and high‑quality issuers, and commercial rates of return.
These insights highlight the importance of well‑designed, evidence‑based and scalable MDB investment opportunities that deliver both environmental impact and meaningful community benefits.
