Media Advisory: High level signature event of the Global Green Bond Initiative

As the most innovative and the largest Team Europe initiative under Global Gateway, the Global Green Bond Initiative (GGBI) brings together eight European development finance institutions, as well as the UN Green Climate Fund, to mobilise up to EUR 20 billion of private capital for sustainable investment in our partner countries. The initiative reflects our EU commitment to sustainable growth, resilient economies, and long-term prosperity.

The President of the European Commission, Ms. Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Investment Bank, Ms. Nadia Calviño, will co-host a short visibility event to showcase the strong uptake of this Team Europe initiative and the strengthened cooperation with low- and middle-income countries under GGBI. The event will bring together its key partners: our partner countries already benefiting from the GGBI (at head of state level); the heads of the eight GGBI partner institutions as well as the UN Green Climate Fund; and Amundi, GGBI's asset manager and Europe's largest asset manager. 

This 30-minute visibility event will consist of a symbolic signing of a GGBI signature board and a GGBI family photo, taking place in the margins of UNGA on the day before the opening of the high-level debate, Monday 21 September at 5:00 PM.
