This publication, developed under the “Collect More – Spend Better: Green Public Financial Management (GPFM)” initiative, is part of Germany’s Sector Programme on Good Financial Governance (GFG), implemented by GIZ and co-financed by the EU and BMZ. As climate change and environmental sustainability become urgent global priorities, the Green PFM Toolkit offers a practical, user-friendly guide for Ministries of Finance and policymakers seeking to integrate green priorities into public financial management. The toolkit compiles 72 carefully curated resources that span all stages of the PFM cycle, supporting policy design, reform assessment, implementation, and capacity-building. It emphasizes thematic and geographic diversity, covering issues like fossil fuel subsidies, biodiversity, and disaster risk management, with examples from across the Global South. Designed to be both comprehensive and accessible, the guide facilitates navigation through resource descriptions based on key criteria—who, when, what, why, and how. With most resources published after the COVID-19 pandemic, the toolkit reflects the fast-evolving landscape of fiscal reform and environmental integration, offering a timely and globally relevant reference for sustainable public finance.
