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

    10 years of I4CE, our partners talk about us

    A decade of commitment to advancing economic policies for the climate

    This year marks an important milestone for I4CE: we are celebrating our 10-year anniversary. Setting sails the year the Paris Agreement was adopted, our mission was clear from the outset: to promote effective, efficient and fair policies for the climate transition.  Since then, we have focused our economic analysis on public policies with an emphasis on assessing the investment needs and policy options for the transition. Our ambition has been to advance the public debate on climate with facts and figures, promoting long-term investment plans as an essential tool to turn political ambitions into reality. Over the years, we have applied this approach to a growing number of policy areas and expanded our geographical scope from France to Europe and internationally.

    2030 and Beyond: Budgeting Europe’s Climate Transition

    The next long term EU budget will take us through the 2030 goal posts, by when GHG emissions should be down by 55%. It will also lay the groundwork for investing in a climate-neutral future for the continent towards the yet-to-be agreed objectives for 2040. So, when the European Commission presented its proposal for a €2 trillion multiannual financial framework (MFF) just before the summer break, there was good reason to carefully study the details from the perspective of closing the EU’s climate investment deficit.
