Margaret-Ann Splawn, Executive Director of the Climate Markets and Investment Association (CMIA)
The Climate Markets and Investment Association (CMIA) is an independent not for profit trade association that has been providing leadership from the private sector in the delivery of climate investment policy and market mechanisms since 2008. We hold one of two Active Private Sector Observer seats to the Green Climate Fund, and a private sector observer role at the World Bank’s Climate Investment Fund and Forest Carbon Partnership Facility. Through climate policy, finance and investment, we are leading a global coalition of private sector actors to mobilise the trillions that will enable a transition to a climate-resilient, low-carbon, sustainable economy.
The CMIA’s mission is to stimulate a shift in the direction and scale of private and public financial flows into investments which are consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. CMIA and its members do this not only by developing the necessary investment opportunities but also by helping to establish the enabling environments needed to increase deal flow to the scale required. This shift will only happen alongside broader efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth in line with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
