INVESTING IN
CLIMATE ACTION

Climate change and environmental degradation dramatically shift infrastructure needs toward infrastructure that is climate-resilient and that supports emission reduction targets under the Paris Agreement. Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 will also require realizing significant increases in economically, environmentally and socially sustainable investments across multiple sectors.

As a major contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Asia’s sustainable development pathway will be crucial for achieving the Paris Agreement objectives.

Increasing attention and commitment of our Members and clients to adapt to and mitigate the impact of climate change and address local environmental problems have reinforced the need for AIIB to focus on this area.

Reflecting our commitment to support the Paris Agreement, AIIB aims to maximize climate benefits in all investments, and exceed a 50% share of climate finance in its actual financing approvals every year until 2030. Our current estimate is that our cumulative climate finance approvals would exceed USD50 billion by 2030.
