One of the principal challenges today is to scale-up the financial flows to the trillions of dollars per year necessary to achieve the 2\u00b0C long-term objectives. Achieving this transition to a low-carbon, climate resilient (LCCR) economic model requires the integration or \u2018mainstreaming\u2019 of climate issues as a prism through which all investment decisions should be made.<\/p>\n

To understand how DFIs are currently addressing this challenge, I4CE is conducting a long-term research project with financial support for the first phase from Caisse des D\u00e9pots <\/em>and Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement<\/em>. The integration or \u2018mainstreaming\u2019 of climate change into development finance decisions poses a broad number of operational challenges. Drawing from the current practice of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), this project looks at the approaches, tools and metrics used by DFIs to integrate both mitigation and adaptation objectives into investment decision making.<\/p>\n

Through targeted in depth case studies and an extensive review of public reports, the project aims to facilitate learning between DFIs through profiles of current practice. Second, the project identifies in practice the paradigm shift needed to integrate climate and development objectives to establish a \u2018LCCR development model\u2019 able to simultaneously tackling development priorities and needs for resilient, low-carbon growth. This will necessitate a move from focusing on a \u2018siloed\u2019 vision of climate finance to a means of aligning activities across the economy with the LCCR objectives to ensure that the majority of investments are coherent with this long-term transition<\/p>\n

Working with individual institutions, the project will identify opportunities for DFIs to further develop qualitative and quantitative assessments of the contribution of their interventions to the \u2018low-carbon transformation\u2019 of a given country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
