Five sustainable finance themes to look out for at the 2025 Spring Meetings

As global finance and development leaders gather in Washington, D.C. this week for the 2025 IMF / World Bank Spring Meetings, here are five key themes we expect to see in the spotlight: 

1. Climate Finance & Adaptation:
Innovative finance will be centre stage – mobilising private capital to support climate adaptation and resilience, especially in the world’s most vulnerable regions.

2. Sustainable Infrastructure:
From renewable energy to resilient urban planning, funding climate-aligned infrastructure will be a major focus.

3. Debt & Development:
How do we finance the transition while maintaining financial stability? Expect deeper dialogue on debt sustainability in the era of climate and social investment.

4. Unlocking Private Capital:
Risk mitigation, blended finance, and enabling environments – tools for driving private sector capital into sustainable development projects will be an important part of discussions.

5. Inclusive Growth:
A core objective – ensuring that green and social transitions deliver for all, with equity, inclusion, and justice embedded in initiatives from the start. 

We look forward to connecting with attendees in D.C. to discuss how reimagining finance can drive a more sustainable future.
