Increase climate finance volumes

The MDBs have a unique opportunity to drastically increase their climate finance flows by following the recommendations in the Capital Adequacy Framework report, which can reduce the long-term costs of inaction.

2030 Goals

01

MDBs commit to triple their climate financing by 2030, moving from $190bn USD per year to $390bn per year, without negatively impacting development finance flows.

Status

Moderate Progress

MDBs are in a unique position to greatly increase their climate finance volumes, following the recommendations from the CAF report. Current climate finance flows from the MDBs, while considerable, are only a small fraction of the volume necessary. In particular, adapted approaches to risk tolerance and callable capital could enable higher volumes of climate finance, as could non-traditional financial instruments such as equity.
