Mobilising finance for the sustainable transformation of the economy

Sustainable finance at GIZ

GIZ supports public authorities and private sector partners in the transformation to sustainable financial systems and practices. We do this by strengthening the capacity of professionals and institutions in two main areas:

  1. Strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks: We work with public authorities to embed sustainability in reform processes, policy frameworks, and financial regulation.

  2. Transforming financial industry players: We provide advisory services and technical assistance to strengthen the policies of financial institutions and build the professional skills needed to integrate sustainability into day-to-day decision-making in the financial sector.

We believe in partnerships

GIZ works with public and private sector partners across the Global South. To maximise our impact, we cooperate with international bodies such as the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the EU Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA), the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the IFC’s Sustainable Banking and Finance Network (SBFN). GIZ is keen to foster global knowledge exchange and peer learning and to disseminate sustainable solutions.
