The annual Joint Report on Multilateral Development Banks Climate Finance is a key indicator on the progress multilateral development banks are making on accelerating the delivery of climate finance.

WWF launches a new framework – Sustainable Financial Regulations and Central Bank Activities (SUSREG) – to support central banks, financial regulators and supervisors in enhancing the financial sector’s stability and resilience to climate-related and broader environmental and social risks, while enabling the mobilisation of capital for the transition to a low-carbon, resilient and sustainable economy.

The Green and Sustainable Chemistry: Framework Manual aims at unpacking various topics relevant for green and sustainable chemistry literature, facilitating a better understanding and providing guidance to countries and stakeholders relevant for advancing green and sustainable chemistry.

It addresses the questions of “Why” is green and sustainable chemistry needed and “What” does it aim to achieve, and in which specific innovation areas. Enabling tools and measures to advance green and sustainable chemistry are explored to show the “How”.

The Framework Manual was requested to be developed by the UNEA 4 in 2019, resolution  4/8 on the sound management of chemicals and waste. It builds on the 2019 UNEP report “Analysis of Stakeholder Submissions on Sustainable Chemistry Pursuant to UNEA Resolution 2/7”, and the GCO-II.
