Toolkits for Policymakers to Green the Financial System
The World Bank’s 2021 report, Toolkits for Policymakers to Green the Financial System, provides an overview of policy tools available to public authorities—such as finance ministries, central banks, and financial regulators—to align financial systems with the Paris Agreement and the SDGs.
It offers guidance on promoting green finance and managing climate-related and environmental risks. The report highlights practical strategies for fostering sustainable investments, enhancing risk management, and developing predictable policy frameworks to support green finance. Rather than an in-depth manual, the report outlines key characteristics and implementation steps for each toolkit, and refers readers to other resources for further technical detail. It serves as a roadmap for mainstreaming climate goals in financial systems.
