A Global Survey of Ministries of Finance: The pressing policy questions Ministries of Finance face in driving green and resilient transitions and their use of analytical tools to address them
This report analyses the results of a survey of 59 Ministries of Finance carried out under the Helsinki Principle 4 initiative ‘Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions’. The survey is the first systematic attempt to explore how Ministries of Finance around the world are approaching the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. There were two main objectives of the survey:
1. To gain a deeper understanding of how Ministries of Finance are currently thinking about climate-related risks and opportunities, and how these are being integrated into their analytical and decision-making frameworks
2. To identify potential technical gaps and implementation challenges, and highlight areas that would most benefit from greater support.
This report provides a one-stop overview of the ‘Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions’ initiative of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action, led by Denmark’s Ministry of Finance with support from the Grantham Research Institute.
