Public Development Bank Climate Action Portal
Turning ambition into action: The Public Development Bank Climate Action Portal
The global climate transition hinges on the financial commitment and ambition of public development banks (PDBs).
Rigorous tracking is the key to accelerating progress toward climate finance ambitions. By establishing reliable data, CPI aims to empower PDBs and other stakeholders to effectively direct global financial flows toward low-emissions climate-resilient development pathways.
CPI has created the Public Development Bank Climate Action Portal (PDBCAP). As a public-facing data hub, the tool is designed to provide granular, project-level transparency into PDB climate finance and commitments.
Driven by research using multilingual AI/ML-enabled tracking, the dashboard summarizes CPI’s tracking of climate commitments from 170 major PDBs worldwide, highlighting areas of rapid progress.
The portal offers an interactive tool that evaluates PDB climate commitments against their operating environments (economic and policy factors) and directs stakeholders to relevant capacity-building resources.
This portal is a powerful resource built for various stakeholders driving global climate impact:
- PDB Peer-to-Peer Benchmarking: Identify opportunities for institutional leadership and peer support by comparing commitments to peers across the wider PDB ecosystem.
- Commitment Structuring Guide: Access a reference framework illustrating how peer PDBs facing comparable operating environments have structured and achieved greater climate ambition.
- Climate Finance Partner Directory: Identify PDB climate finance partners across sectors and geographies to fill investment gaps and boost blended finance.
- Commitment Gap Analysis Dashboard: Gain immediate visibility into PDB ambition gaps. Use the data to target advocacy and champion successful institutions.
- Comprehensive Paris Alignment Database: Access a comprehensive database illustrating PDB support for Paris Agreement implementation at an ecosystem level.
This interactive portal is designed to empower PDBs and other stakeholders to maintain a continuous climate ambition to bridge the climate finance gap.
