Aligning Financial Intermediary Investments with the Paris Agreement

This research paper by the World Resources Institute proposes a practical approach for development finance institutions (DFIs) to align their indirect investments, made through financial intermediaries, with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

• Development finance institutions (DFIs) are essential for aligning financial flows with low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways as per the Paris Agreement, but their alignment efforts have mostly been limited to direct project financing.
• To achieve full alignment with global climate goals, DFIs must address the substantial portions of finance they channel through financial intermediaries, known as "indirect" investments.
