Multilateral development bank (MDB) development services can benefit from incorporating a more systematic approach to managing ecosystems in their strategic priority setting, analytical advisory servi
This report identifies entry points for mainstreaming ecosystem services in Multilateral Development Banks’ (MDBs’) core operations and describes a portfolio of tools to help. It also presents a range of policy options that MDBs can help country partners implement to sustain critical ecosystem services.
This working paper seeks to ground the debate on climate finance in an objective analysis of ongoing efforts to finance mitigation and adaptation in developing countries.
As the Asia Clean Energy Forum kicks off next week, the Asian Development Bank and other multilateral development banks should do more to integrate climate change and clean energy considerations as a core part of their development assistance.
Although there has been some improvement
in the past few years, it is difficult
to identify a trend towards systematic incorporation
of climate change issues into
MDBs’ activities.
The first step for developing countries
to access financing under the Readiness
Mechanism of the World Bank Forest
Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) is the
development of a Readiness Plan Idea
Note (R-PIN). This paper considers the
extent to which R-PINs approved by the
FCPF trust fund committee addressed
questions of good governance of forests.
The objective of this exercise is to identify
issues that will need to be addressed more
completely as countries proceed with
readiness programs.
This week’s first-ever CIF Partnership Forum must ensure that new Clean Technology Funds will help developing countries quickly transition to zero-carbon technologies.
