In DC I met with @PauloGuedesReal, 🇧🇷’s Minister of the Economy. We discussed carbon credit markets and how country platforms could deliver $1 trillion of new private capital flows to emerging markets. Looking forward to more progress at @COP26 in Glasgow. Obrigado!

It was a real pleasure to meet w/ @KGeorgieva while in DC. We discussed how country platforms could deliver $1 trillion of new private capital flows to emerging markets by the middle of the decade. We’ll build on this at Glasgow @COP26 and beyond! #climatefinance
