CWEIC’s Strategic Partner, British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution and impact investor, has partnered with the City of London’s institutional investors to reinforce the UK’s leadership in climate finance. As part of this initiative, BII has allocated an initial £50 million of concessionary capital to mitigate risks and attract private investments into climate-related projects in emerging economies.
