Publications

This page presents publications from the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action’s Helsinki Principle 4 initiative ‘Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions’ across the Core and Thematic Series, launching with four reports, with more to come later in 2025. The Core Series are flagship reports, showcasing the state of practice of economic analysis of climate-related policy questions. These reports serve as primary sources for understanding the experiences, challenges, and strategies of Ministries of Finance and the broader Community of Practice. The Thematic Series builds on the Core Series, particularly drawing from the Compendium of Practice, exploring topics in greater depth, assessing the availability and effectiveness of relevant analytical tools, highlight existing gaps, and presenting relevant case studies.
