  • The Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) has transitioned from using the term "brown finance" to "dirty finance" to describe investments that damage the environment. This change follows feedback that "brown" can be offensive to people of color, particularly given the disproportionate impact of climate change on marginalized communities. While CPI acknowledges that "dirty finance" may not be a perfect term and will continue to use technical language like "high-emissions finance" in formal documents, it believes "dirty finance" provides the strongest and most inclusive signal for general communications.
