CPI’s Climate Finance Toolkit—designed with support from the European Climate Foundation—aims to help Ministries of Finance identify, compare, and select climate finance instruments that match their macroeconomic, risk and sectoral contexts. It supports countries in assessing how to unlock climate finance, while considering fiscal space and avoiding the deepening of debt vulnerability.
The toolkit is designed primarily for Ministry of Finance staff seeking to align public and private sources of climate finance with national climate priorities, in a manner consistent with macroeconomic and financial policy.
It also aims to inform coordination with domestic public financial institutions (such as national development banks) and external actors such as multilateral development banks, bilateral development finance institutions, and donors who design or fund financial instruments.
Users can identify and compare the 14 financial instruments in the tool based on their suitability for specific country contexts, including country capacity, market conditions, risk profiles, sector priorities, and debt implications.
The resource provides further guidance on Stage 3: Financing Strategy, Component 3: Identifying finance partners and setting up a detailed financing plan, of the Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework (CIPMF).
