Ministries of Finance play a critical role in turning green and resilient transitions into reality. To respond effectively, they require robust economic analysis, credible evidence, and timely information.

This website showcases concrete examples, practical guidance, and tools from the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action’s Helsinki Principle 4 initiative ‘Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions’ and a broader community of researchers, analysts, and practitioners.
