About this page:
Climate finance refers to the flow of funds towards activities that mitigate or adapt to the impacts of climate change, supporting sustainable development and resilience. For fund managers, engaging in climate finance not only contributes to global climate goals but also opens up new opportunities for sustainable growth, risk management, and long-term value creation across portfolios.
Climate Finance Methodology
This BII methodology document describes our climate finance qualification criteria and quantification approach. It is based on the Common Principles for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Finance Tracking report developed by multilateral development banks (MDBs) and the International Development Finance Club (IDFC). This document is intended to improve transparency for the benefit of our investees, co-investors, and other external stakeholders
