This blog compares the criteria for climate finance from the multilateral development banks to our categorisation of Paris-aligned investments. Read More
Multilateral development banks (MDBs) can play a critical role in limiting climate change and helping communities adapt to its impacts. Since 2011, they have provided nearly $200 billion in finance for climate change mitigation and adaptation (so-called “climate finance”). The World Bank Group’s recent announcement that it will increase its climate-related investments means this number is likely to grow. Read More
This report describes a new Paradigm for Multilateral Development Banks to contribute to the fight against climate change, and provides recommendations on how the MDBs can transition from the current Climate Finance Paradigm to the new Paris Alignment Paradigm. Read More
Hanna Fekete presented on “The action plan for 1.5°C” at the side event ” A new understanding of Paris-compatible climate action: Translating 1.5°C into technological, social, and political examples of transitional change around the world.” at COP24 in December 2018 Read More
