Maximising Public Development Banks’ climate impact through financial intermediation

Conferences - By : Sarah BENDAHOU / Blandine ARVIS

Some Public Development Banks – particularly the largest multilateral development banks (MDBs) – have committed to making all of their operations aligned with the Paris Agreement, including financial intermediation. There are few existing pieces of knowledge around the impact of financial intermediation on Paris alignment of intermediaries, and even less so on its contribution to reaching real-economy climate goals.  

 

This side-event presented the key results of I4CE’s research on financial intermediation, providing clarity on financial intermediation’s relevance for transformative climate action and thus supporting PDBs and their shareholders in making informed decisions on how to prioritise the use of scarce public funds. 

 

Date: 27 February 2025 

 

Time: 08:00-08:45 (GMT+2) // 07:00-07:45 (CET) 

 

Format: consultation workshop, in person only 

 

Location: Cape Town International Convention Centre, Auditorium Foyer 1

As EU-watchers in Brussels and beyond scrambled to digest the reams of legislative proposals that followed this headline-grabbing announcement, much in the detail should give pause – especially from the perspective of closing the EU’s climate investment deficit.

    What’s next for climate finance? From Seville to Belém

    With the dust settling from COP29’s hard-fought negotiations on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), attention is shifting to how the climate finance goal will be met. The challenge is how to scale up financing for increasingly connected priorities in a challenging landscape of debt stress and cuts in official development assistance.
