Resource Description

This is a toolkit of policy levers available to government, regulator, and central bank policymakers to facilitate the transition to net zero. It outlines sustainable finance policies structured around three pillars: clarifying green investment, tilting capital toward green opportunities, and building pipelines for climate-aligned development.

Why This Matters

Policy is critical to direct global capital toward mitigation and adaptation needs, reduce transition risks, and align financial systems with the 1.5°C goal.
