As we have already recognized that the financial system can play a major role in contributing to the low-carbon transition and green recovery from COVID-19.

How to align the national financial system with these transitions and international best practices?

The Green Finance Platform developed the Sustainable Finance Diagnostic Toolkit to support countries assess the current state of financial system and develop a sustainable finance roadmap - set of key measures and actions.

The first step is to understand the importance of your financial system in national sustainable development outcome and how sustainable finance is relevant in the national context.
Countries will have different starting points. For example, one of the drivers of sustainable finance in India is rooted by the necessity to finance one of the most ambitious global renewable energy programmes.
