OECD Review on Aligning Finance with Climate Goals 2026

Aligning finance with net-zero emissions and climate resilience supports reaching climate policy goals, reduces exposure to climate-related risks, fosters innovation and enhances energy security. Robust evidence on progress is needed to inform effective policymaking and impactful investment decisions across economies. This second edition of the OECD Review on Aligning Finance with Climate Goals supports these efforts by addressing three core areas: the implementation of climate-related financial sector policy playbooks, the tracking of the climate alignment of financial flows and stocks, and developments in climate metrics used in the financial sector. It provides evidence on developments since the first edition, addresses evidence gaps and presents geographical trends. Based on this analysis, the report identifies actions for policymakers to better drive the climate alignment of finance and capture untapped investment opportunities.
