The Green Finance Measures Database maps the significant acceleration in policy and regulatory action on green finance over the past 6 years.

New figures released by the Green Finance Platform show that there are some 500 national and sub-national policy and regulatory measures on green finance in place globally. This represents a 180% increase since 2015.

In late 2020 - in an effort to build back better post-COVID - a number of developed and developing countries have reallocated capital to help finance a green response to the pandemic, with the green recovery being led by the European Union and big emitters releasing green stimulus backed by net zero pledges.
