Sustainable Finance Diagnostic Toolkit

The Sustainable Finance Diagnostic Toolkit is a 10-step online questionnaire that provides practical guidance for policymakers to improve their understanding of actions to enhance mobilization of financing for sustainable development. Each step of the toolkit represents the core components to examine the sustainable finance status of a country.

Through the toolkit, countries or regions will be able to surface necessary information and measures to unlock sustainable finance, which will feed into the development of national, or potentially regional, sustainable finance roadmaps. 

The toolkit will help countries or regions identify a clear picture of financing needs to address sustainable development and the financial system reforms to meet them. It will also help estimate additional financing required to mobilize financial resources for the country as well as efficiently utilize the current supply of sustainable finance to fill the needs and gaps.

The toolkit is developed and managed by the Green Finance Platform, as a part of the Global Environment Facility-funded Aligning Finance Policies project, and is based on the research and assessment conducted by the UNEP Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System and the UNDP Financial Centres for Sustainability.
