This report provides a one-stop overview of the ‘Economic Analysis for Green and Resilient Transitions’ initiative of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action. Introduced by the Danish Minister for Finance, the report presents: the rationale for this crucial initiative; work highlights and successes to date—including findings from a first-of-a-kind survey of Ministries of Finance, and case study insights from the initiative’s ambitious Compendium of Practice; recommendations for plugging key gaps in Ministries’ access to tools and their capabilities for mainstreaming climate action; and a look-ahead to the initiative’s work in 2026.
Reviewing the challenge and building capabilities together
The report enforces how essential Ministries of Finance are to turning green and resilient economic transitions into reality and details how the initiative has brought together a global Community of Practice to support these efforts and strengthen Ministries’ analytical capabilities. Led by Denmark’s Ministry of Finance, the initiative is steered by over 20 Ministries of Finance and leading experts in the field.
The report describes the design of the in-person Forum on the Macroeconomics of Green and Resilient Transitions and the initiative’s growing range of publications centered on real-world experience. Key insights from a global survey of nearly 60 Ministries of Finance are summarized, along with highlights from the Compendium of over 130 detailed case studies showcasing how Ministries and their partners are applying economic analysis to address climate-related policy questions. It also showcases publications that describe the analytical tools available to support decision-making and explore how Ministries can build capabilities, and thematic reports on addressing climate-related fiscal challenges and physical climate risk.
Our focus in 2026
Change is already underway—Ministries of Finance worldwide are adopting new approaches to climate–economy analysis. Mainstreaming these efforts requires collective action. The report details how the initiative will continue to strengthen the global Community of Practice in 2026 and deepen peer-to-peer exchanges to support Ministries of Finance and their partners in building lasting national capabilities, integrating climate–economy analysis into core Ministry processes, and developing the next generation of analytical tools.
