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.
Coal is increasingly unviable both financially and environmentally and is ceasing to make sense as an option for investors and governments. This third annual report in the Carbon Tracker’s Powering Down Coal series finds that investments in new renewables beat investments in new coal in all major markets when comparing the levelized cost of energy for both.
The Economic Case for Nature is part of a series of papers by the World Bank that lays out the economic rationale for investing in nature and recognizes how economies rely on nature for services that are largely underpriced. The report presents a global integrated ecosystem-economy modelling exercise to assess economic policy responses to the global biodiversity crisis.
This report aims to advance the climate change aspects of the World Bank's green, resilient and inclusive development (GRID) approach, which pursues poverty eradication and shared prosperity with a sustainability lens. Specifically, the action plan supports countries and private sector clients to maximize the impact of climate finance, aiming for measurable improvements in adaptation and resilience and measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
This paper describes three products to support governments to tackle challenges and scale up action towards a climate aligned and sustainable development path.
