Our Community of Practice
The cornerstone of the initiative is our fast-evolving Community of Practice, designed to bring together Ministries of Finance and a wider network of institutions and actors specializing in economic analysis and modelling for climate action in a process of peer-to-peer learning, knowledge exchange, and catalysing downstream capacity-building and research projects.
The Community of Practice has four key components
Ministry of Finance Steering Committee: The initiative is governed by a diverse set of over 20 MoFs from advanced, emerging, and developing economies from the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action. The group is chaired by the Danish Ministry of Finance and meets roughly quarterly in-line with the key project milestones. The Steering Committee provides overall guidance on the strategic direction of the initiative, identifies strategically salient policy issues and case studies, contributes relevant country case studies, and shapes the engagement and communications strategy.
Technical Advisory Group: The technical advisory group (TAG) comprises senior leaders and experts from a network of institutions specializing in economic analysis and modelling for climate action spanning the IFIs (e.g., World Bank, IMF), Regional Development Banks (RBDs) (e.g., ADB, AfDB), academic institutions (e.g., Oxford University), related networks (e.g., NGFS, PEP Africa), and the private sector (e.g., M&G). It plays a pivotal role in providing overall guidance on the technical direction of the initiative and contributing to the community of practice, as well as access to analytical and modelling tools relevant to MoFs. The TAG is overseen by the Steering Committee of involved Ministries of Finance and alongside senior leaders includes complementary young professionals from the next generation of economists and climate policy experts.
Contributing institutions: The initiative also benefits from a wide range of important contributing institutions and interested Ministries of Finance that contribute research, examples, case studies, and analysis to the program of work. Furthermore, these institutions are integral members of the community of practice. Read more
Annual Forum: The Community of Practice gathers each year at an annual forum that brings together a wide range of experts and policymakers to discuss the challenges and opportunities around the macroeconomics of green and resilient transitions with a focus on the most pressing policy questions relevant to Ministries of Finance.
