| Some progress | CDB is a leading institution for green finance in China. Internationally, however, the Bank does not seem to be actively partnering with other development finance institutions. |
Explanation
CDB is actively promoting green and climate finance in the Chinese capital market. Most notable is the increasing issuance of green and sustainability bonds
However, there is no evidence that CDB is actively promoting and supporting green finance capacity building for partner banks and clients.
