How can climate and nature finance move beyond pledges and reach the countries, communities and landscapes where it is needed most?
In this conversation, H.E. Serge Wilmes, Minister of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity of Luxembourg, and María del Pilar Garrido Gonzalo, Director of the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate, discuss how finance can become more inclusive, better aligned and more effective in supporting climate, biodiversity and land restoration goals.

The conversation also looks at Rio Changemakers, an AI-enabled, science-guided marketplace being developed by Luxembourg’s Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity and the Global Landscapes Forum to connect investors with credible climate and nature solutions.

This interview is part of the lead-up to the Luxembourg International Climate Finance Days 2026, bringing together finance, policy and implementation actors to strengthen the investment case for climate and nature solutions.
