The State of Green Banks 2025: Learnings from Green Financing Structures Around the World
The State of Green Banks 2025 presents a comprehensive review of financial institutions designed to overcome key barriers to private capital mobilization for climate-aligned investments—commonly referred to as green banks—including high perceived risk, information asymmetries, and policy misalignment.
A collaborative effort by Climate Policy Initiative, the NRDC, the Green Finance Institute, and Bezos Earth Fund, this report draws on new data from 50-plus public financial institutions across more than 20 countries. Of these, 36 are either based in or actively engaged with emerging markets and developing economies—regions where the demand to increase fit-for-purpose climate finance is particularly acute.
