Unlocking Sustainable Finance in MENA: Moving from Reporting to Readiness

Across MENA, sustainable finance is creating new opportunities for organisations to fund their climate and sustainability ambitions. However, accessing capital requires more than ESG disclosures. Organisations must demonstrate credible projects, measurable impact, and readiness to meet capital providers' expectations.

So, what do investors and lenders actually look for? How can organisations access green, sustainable and adaptation finance?

In this fireside chat, Oren brings together Dr. Karim Morsy, an internationally recognised climate change and sustainable finance expert, to explore how organisations can move beyond reporting and become investment-ready.

Drawing on over 17 years of experience, including his role as Head of the COP27 Technical Team, Dr. Morsy will share practical insights into the evolving sustainable finance landscape.

What will we explore?

• What capital providers actually check: key criteria investors, lenders and development finance institutions consider.

• Green and adaptation finance: understanding available financing opportunities and instruments across MENA.

• From reporting to readiness: translating ESG commitments into credible, fundable projects.

• Getting finance-ready: strengthening project pipelines and demonstrating impact to unlock capital.
