For purposes of greater transparency and

M D B C L I M AT E F I N A N C E 2 0 2 0
consistency, 2020 figures report climate
finance in all economies where the MDBs
operate, with a breakdown by income level.

The report and infographic were prepared by the European

Bank for Reconstruction and Development, together with
the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank,
the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the European
Investment Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank
Group, the Islamic Development Bank, the New Development
Bank and the World Bank Group.

Climate finance commitments by the New Development Bank

(NDB) are not included in the total reported MDB climate
finance for 2020. The NDB committed US$ 816 million in
climate finance, all of which was directed to middle-income
countries. Climate finance accounted for approximately
19 per cent of the NDB’s total approved projects, excluding
its response to the Covid-19 pandemic. All of the committed
NDB finance was dedicated to climate mitigation activities.

Due to rounding, some numbers in this publication may not add up to the totals shown.
