Resource Description

The Sustainable Banking & Finance Network (SBFN) Framework Library is a freely accessible, searchable online database compiling over 400 national-level sustainable finance framework documents issued by SBFN member countries.

Why This Matters

The SBFN Framework Library empowers policymakers, financial institutions, and researchers to benchmark, design, and implement effective sustainable finance frameworks. By consolidating real-world examples from across the globe, it accelerates knowledge sharing and strengthens the alignment of financial systems with sustainability goals.

Key Insights

  • The library covers a broad range of document types including national strategies, policy frameworks, guidelines, templates/tools, taxonomies, roadmaps, research and voluntary principles
  • Documents are issued by regulators, banking associations and other financial sector institutions across emerging and frontier markets, providing real-world examples of how jurisdictions structure sustainable finance frameworks
  • It supports benchmarking and comparative analysis: by surveying frameworks across many countries, practitioners can identify common elements, gaps, and emerging good practices in sustainable finance regulation and policy.
