The Sustainable Finance Diagnostic Toolkit is a 10-step online questionnaire to help facilitate the development of a national sustainable finance status report and provide input in developing a sustainable finance roadmap – an agenda and form consensus on key measures and actions to be taken to advance sustainable finance in the country.

This toolkit is based on research and analysis by the UNEP Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System and the International Network of Financial Centres for Sustainability (FC4S). It is developed and distributed online as a part of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded Aligning Finance Policies project, under which the Green Finance Platform is working with six countries.

The Green Finance Platform provides a clearinghouse of market, policy and regulatory innovations for the financial system to contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon, resilient and inclusive economy. Developing a sustainable finance roadmap through this toolkit is the first step to building the financial architecture for sustainable economic transitions. The toolkit is followed by three consecutive steps: aligning with global standards and best practices based on the Green Finance Measures Database, designing effective green financial policies and regulations based on the Green Finance Effectiveness Framework, and shaping the global conversation through sustainable finance knowledge sourced from partner networks.
