WWF works on ‘greening finance’ – improving the integration of environmental risks and opportunities into financial decision-making - and ‘financing green’ – increasing investment in sustainable development.

Through our ‘greening finance’ work, we’re demonstrating how risks like climate change, water scarcity and biodiversity loss affect investments and economies, and how to respond.

We work to green financial systems by engaging multilateral development banks, ministries of finance, and international fora such as the G20.

Our flagship Greening Financial Regulation Initiative engages central banks and financial supervisors on the need to integrate climate and environmental risks into decision-making, providing research, tools, support and training to help achieve global sustainability goals.

And our global roadmap for a nature-positive economy sets out the global economic reforms needed to facilitate an equitable transition.

We also work to green financial institutions by supporting them to align their policies, activities, and investments with a net-zero, nature-positive future.

This includes aligning portfolios with the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals through target-setting and transition planning; and disclosing nature- and climate-related risks and opportunities to help shift and scale global financial flows toward net-zero, nature-positive outcomes.
 
We welcome proposals for collaboration and partnership. I
f you would like to explore opportunities to work together to deliver sustainable finance at scale, please contact us on finance@wwfint.org.
