A second initiative is climate related financing offered by multilateral development banks (MDBs).

The MDBs have learned from experience how to use resources well.

The MDBs have been able to leverage large flows of private investment by mitigating risks and developing the capacity of domestic financial institutions.

In addition, the multilateral development banks (MDBs), including the regional development banks and the World Bank, could raise an additional 20 30 billion in gross public financing through higher contributions from rich countries.

At last year s Rio 20 conference, the eight largest multilateral development banks pledged 175 billion to develop sustainable transportation.

Annual infrastructure financing from multilateral development banks and overseas development assistance is likely to amount to no more than 40 60 billion, or 2 3 of projected needs.

Public funding should help leverage climate friendly private investments. The multilateral development banks, in close collaboration with the UN system, can play a significant multiplier role in this regard.

MDBs should work expeditiously with the private sector to expand greatly the scale of such new mechanisms, and their capital should be increased if they demonstrate success.

Within member governments, relations with the WTO are usually the responsibility of the trade or foreign ministry, while multilateral financial institutions, including the regional development banks, are generally the responsibility of the finance ministry.

Development banks, which provide loans to developing countries, are an important source of multilateral population assistance.

Sound policies in developing countries, a price for carbon, and risk sharing and co financing with MDBs and other national and international institutions can yield private flows that are many times the public resources involved in fostering them.
