Introduction to Santa Marta Central Bank Innovation Platform - The Imaginable in times of the Inevitable

Event Overview Beyond Bretton Woods and Leave it in the Ground Initiative (LINGO) have the pleasure to invite you to the soft launch of “THE SANTA MARTA CENTRAL BANK INNOVATION PLATFORM – THE IMAGINABLE IN TIMES OF THE INEVITABLE” at NY Climate Week. At Santa Marta (Colombia), on the first Fossil Free conference the “Santa Marta Transition and Financial Stability Group” was launched in April 2026. Foundational to this group is the creation of the Santa Marta Central Bank Innovation Platform. The platform exists to accelerate and scale the execution of novel, unique just-transition solutions within the central bank policy framework. It does so by mainstreaming and shaping "out-of-the-box" ideas that seek a fit within the widening mandate scope of central banks. This event brings together expert panel members for a deliberate three-part conversation, a trifecta spanning science, central bank monetary policy, and investment allocation decision making.
