๐ Kicking off the year and setting IDFCโs priorities
On 5โ6 February 2026, IDFC Sherpas (representatives of each IDFC member development bank) met in Tokyo ๐ฏ๐ต to define the Clubโs priorities and activities for the year ahead. The meeting was hosted by @jica_direct_en and opened by Akihiko Tanaka, President of JICA.
Over two days of exchanges, discussions focused on IDFCโs priorities for 2026, the next phase of the IDFC Facility, and progress across the Clubโs Working Groups, including Climate Finance, C4D, SDG Alignment, Biodiversity, and Gender Equality.
Sherpas also benefited from high-level insights from Bambang Brodjonegoro, Dean of the @ADBInstitute and former Indonesiaโs Minister of Finance, and Tetsushi Sonobe, Professor at the @GRIPS_English, on the role of public development banks in the current global context, as well as from a dedicated workshop led by Salvatore Serravalle (@e3g) on Rules, Regulations and Standards.
๐ A warm thank you to JICA for their hospitality and excellent organization, and to all Sherpas for the rich exchanges and strong engagement.
Looking forward to building on this momentum throughout 2026!

๐ฟ For the first COP ever held in Amazonia, giving a voice to Amazonian communities was essential.
Yesterday at the IDFC Pavilion, @AFD_en, @Int_IDEA, and @DeliberaBrasil brought those voices forward through the event โHow can climate citizen assemblies leverage the impacts of private and public finance on the resilience of the local communities in Amazonia?โ
Amazonian communities are on the front line of climate impacts, yet often face limited access to climate finance, fragmented support, and decision-making processes that donโt fully reflect local realities.
๐ก By gathering randomly selected residents from Magalhรฃes Barata and Barcarena (two municipalities of Parรก), the assemblies enabled communities to define their own priorities for climate policies and financing, grounded in their daily challenges and opportunities.
๐ What emerged:
- Clear recommendations to improve access, transparency, and responsiveness of climate finance
- Locally defined priorities for adaptation, resilience, and sustainable development
- Concrete opportunities for public development banks and philanthropic foundations to act together
- A shared call for more inclusive, community-driven climate governance in the Amazon

Climate finance isnโt only about mobilizing capital, itโs about enabling institutions to use that capital well ๐ธ
๏ธ
Yesterday at the UNFCCC Pavilion at #COP30, FiCS and @IDFC_Network hosted a session highlighting that systemic coordination in aligning national and international resources is essential to unlocking the full potential of public development banks in scaling climate-smart, inclusive finance. ๐
What we explored:
๐ TA is the backboneย of successful projectsโyet often overlooked in favor of new financial instruments
๐ South-South peer learningย is in high demand, shifting away from traditional North-South knowledge transfer
๐ ๏ธ Innovative modelsย like D-Lab (DBSA) and PDB Guarantee Hub (NDC Partnership) are scaling impact through replication and guarantees.
๐กย Gender-lens investingย and long-term capacity building drive sustainable change.
The session also introduced the ๐๐ถ๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฏ, a new platform designed to connect PDBs with global TA providers, harmonize knowledge, and elevate TACB within the international financial architecture.

๐ข Launching at #COP30IDFC: the Transformational Finance for Climate Position Paper
While climate solutions are accelerating, many countries still struggle to mobilize finance at the scale needed to implement their long-term strategies. Too often, investment is held back by regulatory gaps, unclear signals to markets, or institutions that are not yet ready for large-scale climate transitions.
The Position Paper helps bridge that gap. It shows how governments and financial institutions can reshape the systems that guide investment, making it easier to direct financial flows toward low-emission and resilient development โ the core ambition of Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement.
A collective work by IDFC, @AFD_en, @FinanceInCommon, @UNEP_FI, PRI, and @MainstreamClim.

This morning, our Secretary General @NPicchiottino joined ministries, regulators, and financial leaders at the session โFrom Baku to Belรฉm: Advancing Taxonomy Interoperability to Catalyse Private Capital Mobilization.โ
A sustainable finance taxonomy is simply a classification system that defines which activities are considered sustainable. When definitions differ across countries, it becomes harder for investors to compare projects and channel capital, making interoperability essential.
In his intervention, Nicolas Picchiottino shared IDFCโs practical experience in strengthening alignment across the global financial architecture, highlighting:
- IDFCโs joint work with MDBs on ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (a common climate finance taxonomy),

- the IDFC Facility ยท International Development Finance Club, which supports members and partners with capacity-building,
