AIIB has introduced Climate-Focused Policy-Based Financing (CPBF) as a new instrument supplementing AIIB's Sovereign-Based Financing (SBF) offerings. This new financing option aims to support AIIB Members in their efforts to achieve their national climate transition objectives.
The CPBF will support AIIB Member-led policy and institutional reform programs that are aimed at scaling up climate finance and accelerating Members' transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient future. It will prioritize reforms that increase adaptation finance, mobilize private capital, and increase the supply of bankable infrastructure investments.
