President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu attended a high-level briefing hosted by King Charles III on mobilising private capital for global climate action.
The meeting took place under the Sustainable Markets Initiative. The platform brings together heads of major development banks and leaders in private finance. The session focused on speeding up efforts to attract private funding for sustainability goals.
Global finance chiefs and multilateral bank presidents joined the briefing. Senior figures from the World Bank, ADB, IDB, EIB, AIIB, Standard Chartered, HSBC, BlackRock, and others took part.
President Muizzu engaged in discussions on debt-for-climate and debt-for-nature initiatives. He pushed for stronger private-sector cooperation in green finance. He also highlighted the needs of the Maldives and other small island states. He stressed the urgency of new and fair financing tools.
His visit, made at the invitation of King Charles III, strengthens the Maldives’ push for equitable climate finance. The session marks another step in linking public ambitions with private investment.
