This publication explores how green investment banks can help finance a green and just transition, making a case for strengthening their role and showing how international development finance institutions can help unleash their potential. It is critical that these institutions emerge as powerful and cost-effective vehicles to overcome investment barriers, leverage available resources, and help localize the Sustainable Development Goals. The Asian Development Bank and other multilaterals can share knowledge and provide innovative technical assistance to support governments in considering the green investment bank option.
