Firstly, an ongoing study explores how public development banks can leverage financial intermediation towards low-emissions and climate resilient development; the preliminary findings from this research will be shared in a consultative workshop at FiCS. Secondly, together with other think tanks and research organisations, we developed a policy bulletin highlighting recommendations for public development banks on how to accelerate their contribution to climate and development objectives. Thirdly, along with other partners, we are developing a framework to track the progress of G20 countries on sustainable finance policies, with a focus on accountability of public actors \u2013 including finance ministries, central banks, regulators, supervisors, and national development banks, among others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from these ongoing research projects, we are also closely connected to the Finance in Common system.
