Welcome to Paris and to the first Green Bank Design Summit!We are excited to have you join this first-of-its-kind convening to foster the creation and development of

green banks. As the world seeks a transition to a carbon-free, climate-resilient future, green banks represent

an important institutional response to the challenges of climate change and sustainable development.

Green banks can help mobilize capital to ensure countries achieve their nationally determined contributions

under the Paris Agreement, to which all countries represented at this Summit have put forth a commitment.

National green banks can also help realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the

eradication of poverty, access to affordable and clean energy, building resilient infrastructure, and protection

of the planet’s marine and land ecosystems for future generations.

While unprecedented public and private action is underway to address these challenges, green banks

that accelerate investment in green infrastructure can make a significant contribution. Our efforts have

the potential to enable economic growth around the globe, and support greater gender equality, quality

education, peace, and prosperity. There is an urgent need to adopt creative solutions that leverage the

world’s capital markets for a sustainable future.

Green banks have been successfully established in many countries across four continents. Interest in the

green bank model is rising rapidly in emerging markets and developing countries: there are 26 countries

represented at this Summit that are here to explore how the green bank model could be adopted in their

national context to increase private investment in climate solutions.

Over the next two days, we will exchange knowledge and build expertise about how to design, implement,

and operate green banks and similar entities. We will build connections and community among green bank

stakeholders. We will use workshops and a one-on-one “clinic” to explore solutions to specific challenges

countries are facing related to green bank formation.

Furthermore, at the Summit we will take the first step toward creation of a global green bank design

platform, an ongoing collaborative effort to accelerate green bank formation. In the future, this new platform

will elevate the profile of green banks and enhance integration of green banks in the climate finance

ecosystem.

We are grateful to each of you for committing your time and focus to participating in the Green Bank Design

Summit. Our partnership is critical to accomplishing our individual and collective climate investment goals

for the benefit of all who have entrusted us to lead.

Fundamentals and Workshops

Green Bank Fundamentals 1This workshop will present the basic forms green

banks can take, whether new or existing institutions,

facilities or stand-alone entities. It will explore how

developing countries are approaching green bank

formation and provide an overview of capitalization

options. It will also present important lessons

learned on strategy, stakeholder engagement,

governance, and structure.

Goals:• Understand the core tenets shared by different

versions of green banks

• Review the “map” of possible structures

• Explore where participant countries currently fit

on that map and where they would like to be in

the future

Green Bank Fundamentals 2This workshop will explore the financial tools and

products a green bank can deploy to address

specific market gaps.

Goals:• Understand how green banks can approach

the market to identify barriers to investment in

underserved sectors

• Understand some of the financial instruments

that green banks could deploy

Workshop A: Tools for Greening Financial InstitutionsThis workshop will consider lessons learned in

greening existing public financial institutions. It will

also explore how financial instruments and products

can be designed to stimulate project pipelines and

catalyze private investment into low-carbon and

climate-resilient technologies.

Goals:• Develop a shared understanding of how existing

institutions can incorporate the green banking

model

• Improve familiarity with financial instruments and

products employed by existing institutions in

support of climate action

Workshop B: Institutional Frameworks and Risk ManagementWhile green banks vary greatly according to the

local context, there are some common elements to

the phases of their formation processes. Using case

studies of existing green banks and considering

the developing-country context, this workshop lays

out each of these phases, highlighting the key

decisions that need to be made at each stage.

In addition, the workshop explores how, once

operating, green banks face the challenges of how

to manage risk and balancing generating returns

with their public policy mission.

Goals: • Frame and understand pathways to green bank

formation and identify and explore key elements

of green bank design, establishment, and

operation

• Understand what is unique about risk

management and risk-reward profiles within

green banks and how green banks balance

return expectations with public policy purpose

Session 5: Green Bank DevelopmentGuiding Questions for Country Clinics

For Country Representatives

The clinic session is an opportunity for country

representatives to seek one-on-one or small-group

advice from an expert practitioner with green bank

expertise. This experience will help you integrate

and synthesize what you’ve learned at the Summit

and begin to apply it to your country’s context.

The questions below are meant to facilitate the

discussion with your expert. Choose the questions

that are most applicable to your country or that

you wish to prioritize. Some questions may be

relevant for countries at the initial stages of

green bank exploration, while other questions are

relevant for everyone.

You are not expected to answer all questions in an

hour, but please make sure to answer the last four

questions. Answers to those four questions will be

reported out during Session 6 after lunch.

Opportunities and obstacles1. What are the financing and investment priorities

that a green bank could best serve in your

country? For example: financing projects tied

to nationally determined contributions and the

sustainable development goals; mobilizing

private capital for low-carbon, climate-resilient

infrastructure; deepening capital markets;

supporting an underserved sector.

2. What are the most valuable potential services

that a green bank could provide in your

market? For example: information, training, and

capacity building; creating project pipelines

and structuring deals; green finance product

innovation and design to crowd in private

investment; blending concessional capital with

domestic capital to deploy green products;

enabling feedback to government and

policymakers to drive green rules

and regulations.

3. As you consider the potential for establishing a

green bank in your country, what does success

look like in one year? In five years? What key

actions will be needed to achieve this success?

4. What are the most significant obstacles to

launching a green bank in your country? For

example: political (e.g., support, independence);

financial (e.g., capitalization); leadership?

Next steps5. What are the next steps for your country to

explore/develop a green bank over the next

3, 6, 12 months? For example: market

research; political support; identification of

sector opportunities; policy, legal and/or

regulatory reform.

6. What external resources (e.g., technical

assistance or other support) does your

country need to design, capitalize and form

a green bank?

2120

Questions particularly relevant to early stage green bank development

Opportunity identification and development7. Do you envision forming a green bank as an

initiative of an existing institution or as a new

stand-alone institution? Have you identified a

host institution?

8. What/who are the most important institutions/

decision makers in advancing the concept?

9. Do you have early stage technical assistance

support? What sources have you identified

for this?

Market assessment and business planning10. What are your major challenges mobilizing

private investment in priority sectors?

11. What are your major climate-related project

pipeline challenges?

Formation and capitalization12. What are potential sources of public capital

from within your country to be used for a

green bank (i.e., for targeted private

investment mobilization)?

13. What are promising sources of public capital

from international donors or climate funds?

Private capital?

2322

Summary for reporting out in Session 6Please answer these questions in the space below. Only one answer per country is necessary.

1. What does success toward green bank

establishment look like in one year? What

are three key activities needed to achieve

this success?

2. What is the single biggest obstacle your country

faces in achieving these milestones?

3. What kinds of technical assistance or

other support would be most helpful in

achieving success?

4. What is your country’s immediate next step

toward green bank design/establishment?
