Financial Structuring 

The project will be financed by public and private sector funds through a combination of debt and equity. This will include senior debt as well as first loss equity from multilateral development banks, agencies, sovereigns and their sovereign wealth funds. The middle layer of capital will be provided by private sector funds at attractive yields, this is possible thanks to the cost efficient leverage through the public capital.

The structures managing the project will be set up in a reputable jurisdiction (likely Luxembourg) and the debt raised will be in form of listed green bonds with a very clear use of proceeds. To minimise fraud and losses funds will be unlocked only when particular stages of projects are achieved.

Corporate governance and compliance will be of the highest quality with multiple levels of auditing and review.

The financial structuring and complicance are using the tried and tested practices of large infrastructure investments rather than the venture capital approaches of the climate change investment sector up until now.
