Transparency of climate finance data

The IsDB now reports climate finance to the Joint Report on Multilateral Development Banks’ Climate Finance. E3G also understands that the IsDB does provide project level data to the OECD climate finance database. However, this could not be found online. E3G is seeking clarification from the OECD as to why this may be. 

Transparency of financial intermediary lending

The IsDB does little financing through financial intermediaries.

TCFD Reporting

No TCFD reporting currently occurs.

Recommendation: We recommend that all MDBs consider disclosing their operations against a version of the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy that has been adapted for the region the bank operates in. This is because it is science based and is reviewed regularly to reflect changes in technology and science. 

Recommendation: We recommend that all development banks begin TCFD reporting
