Governments, policymakers and regulators

WHY MUST MULTILATERAL ORGANISATIONS ACCELERATE SUSTAINABLE FINANCE TO DRIVE THE CLIMATE TRANSITION?

GOVERNMENTS NEED TO CENTRE CLIMATE ACTION FOR ECONOMIC RESILIENCE

Governments are central to steering sustainable finance and advancing the climate transition. Through policy, regulation, and public finance, governments shape economic priorities and influence the pace and direction of climate action. To drive the low-carbon transformation, governments need to integrate climate objectives across fiscal policy, industrial strategy, and infrastructure investment.

GROWING NEED FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE FINANCE PRODUCTS

Governments need to catalyse the development of sustainable financial products such as green bonds, transition bonds, and concessional finance mechanisms—by providing policy support, de-risking investments, and ensuring a stable, enabling environment for private capital mobilisation.

DRIVING ECONOMY WIDE DECARBONISATION

Governments need to set clear national emissions targets, mandate corporate climate disclosures, and incentivise the transition of carbon-intensive sectors. Public investment in clean energy, sustainable transport, and nature-based solutions must be a core part of economic recovery and development strategies.

Long-term climate-aligned planning, anchored by measurable targets and inclusive stakeholder engagement, will position countries for competitive advantage in the emerging green economy.

FEATURED PROJECTS

Gender-Responsiveness Clean Energy Climate Finance Facility

Long-term transition plans that align with the Paris Agreement’s goals are essential. Financial institutions must set interim targets, monitor progress, and collaborate with stakeholders to drive systemic change. Participating in industry initiatives like the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Banking and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) facilitates best practice sharing and global standard development. Accelerating sustainable finance is a strategic necessity for financial institutions. By embracing sustainable products, supporting taxonomies, adapting to regulations, calculating financed emissions, decarbonizing portfolios, and instituting transition plans, financial institutions can become leaders in the low-carbon economy. This proactive approach mitigates climate risks and unlocks growth opportunities, positioning financial institutions to thrive in a sustainable future.
