Key points
These notes set out joint MDB methodological principles for assessment of Paris Agreement alignment, providing a common technical approach for a range of financial instruments and financing types MDBs may use, addressing both BB1 and BB2 within each. Joint MDB methodological principles have been prepared for:
- Direct investment lending operations,
- Policy-based lending operations
- Intermediated financing
- General corporate purpose finance.
Universally aligned and universally non-aligned lists of activities were also prepared and included in a separate section. These joint MDB methodological principles will be used by the MDBs to inform and facilitate the Paris Alignment assessments of their new financing operations
