Knowledge Hub

The World Federation of Development Financing Institution’s Knowledge Hub (WFDFI_KH) is an online portal that clusters knowledge and resources on development financing across all development intervention areas. It is a free-for all web space where development financing practitioners and enthusiasts could access existing and compelling knowledge products from a wide range of institutions, with diverse structure and procedures, engaged in supporting and promoting development finance and its crosscutting issues in advancing policies, processes, programs, projects and practices for the benefits of their beneficiaries and stakeholders. The two-fold purposes of the WFDFI_KH are shaping and advancing policy and advocacy positions that impact the development of the banking and finance community worldwide and improve DFI capacity, as well as facilitating knowledge management and sharing.

National development finance institutions (NDFIs) can play a vital role in promoting climate financing and thus achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) due to their knowledge of local markets, their close connections to domestic public and private stakeholders and their ability for local currency financing. However, currently NDFIs are not involved as intensively in this field as they could be.

Increasing the Alignment of Global Finance with Nature

Biodiversity Protection Climate / Resilience Development Finance Investments Paris Agreement Publications
The global economy must deliver nature-positive, equitable outcomes if we are to tackle the existential challenges of nature loss and climate change. As nature is not material in most financial decision-making, there is significant misalignment of public and private financial flows with nature-positive outcomes. Understanding the current degree of alignment of global finance, and identifying actions needed to increase it is vital.

Greenflation: The cost of the green transition in small open economies

Climate / Resilience Developing countries Economic Development / Stability Environment / Ecosystem Investments Publications Sustainability Technologies & Innovations
We propose a new model of a small open economy with efficient energy use to investigate the inflationary dynamics along the green transition. The model incorporates the production of green energy that substitutes exogenous brown energy sources in energy production. Production is characterized by low substitutability between resource and traditional inputs that firms can alter through directed input-saving technical change.
