Long-Term Strategy Use: The case of development finance institutions

More and more development finance institutions (DFIs) are exploring the use of countries’ longterm strategies (LTSs) as they seek to implement Paris-aligned investment strategies.

Written by the Institute for Climate Economics (I4CE) and with support from the 2050 Pathways Platform, this report focuses on the role of countries’ LTSs in the Paris alignment approaches of DFIs. It explores the possible roles of both the LTS development process and the resulting LTS document in providing insights on the Paris alignment of investments within financial institutions’ investment decision-making processes.
