Green Investment Banks: Unleashing the Potential of National Development Banks to Finance a Green and Just Transition

This publication explores how green investment banks can mobilize private sector capital and provide affordable long-term financing to help developing countries close the climate investment gap and support a green and just transition.

The publication underscores how international development finance institutions can support new green investment banks (GIBs) by providing technical assistance and access to low-cost financing. It explains how GIBs can develop ways to assess underlying risks and work with governments to prepare a pipeline of investable projects to overcome investment barriers and help build low-carbon, climate resilient economies.
