Multilateral Organisations
WHY MUST MULTILATERAL ORGANISATIONS ACCELERATE SUSTAINABLE FINANCE TO DRIVE THE CLIMATE TRANSITION?
MULTILATERAL ORGANISATIONS NEED TO CENTRE CLIMATE ACTION FOR GLOBAL IMPACT
Multilateral organisations are crucial to accelerating sustainable finance and driving the global climate transition. As conveners of international dialogue and financiers of development projects, they have the influence to set norms, mobilise resources, and catalyse systemic change across borders. To align with the global net zero ambition, they need to integrate climate considerations into all programmes, funding decisions, and partnerships.
NEW CLIMATE FINANCE PRODUCTS AND DE RISKING INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS ARE EMERGING
Innovative climate finance tools such as blended finance, green bonds, de risking instruments and climate resilience funds are evolving at faster pace. Multilateral organisations need to scale and mainstream these instruments to unlock greater private sector investment in sustainable infrastructure, clean energy, and climate adaptation initiatives.
REDUCING EMISSIONS IN PROJECT PIPELINES AND SUPPORTING TRANSITIONS
Multilaterals need to help countries and institutions set science-based targets, phase out support for high carbon projects, and prioritise low-carbon, inclusive growth pathways. Supporting national transition plans and sectoral decarbonisation will be critical to achieving global climate goals.
To maximise their impact, multilateral organisations need to disclose the carbon impact of their investments, set emission reduction targets, and work collaboratively with governments, private investors, and civil society to scale climate action.
