Our Approach
IFC is helping to create markets for climate business in many countries, using its own capital, expertise, and local country knowledge to attract commercial capital. We are:
1.
Setting standards
Credible standards inspire investor confidence and stimulate the flow of private capital. IFC has led pioneering work on global principles and industry-specific guidance that helped create climate business opportunities across sectors and geographies.
2.
Promoting sustainable innovation
IFC has been at the leading edge of catalyzing private capital for development. Through our IFC 3.0, or Creating Markets approach, we use a wide toolkit of approaches to generate investable opportunities, from policy reforms to project development. We work together with the World Bank to create the greatest impact. And we crowd in the much-needed private capital.
3.
Working to mobilize capital and achieve scale
As a global development organization, IFC is in a unique position to develop innovative financial solutions, and to connect our clients with partners and investors.
