Sustainable Finance Framework

The CAF Sustainable Finance Framework outlines the institution's comprehensive strategy as the Green Bank for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth of Latin America and the Caribbean. The document details CAF's institutional approach to fostering sustainable development across its 22 shareholder countries through strategic agendas focused on just energy transition, climate resilience, biodiversity protection, sustainable territories, social well-being, and infrastructure development. The Framework highlights CAF's alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, evidenced by its 2023 portfolio where 27% of approved operations contributed to environmental sustainability and climate change, while 16% supported gender equality, inclusion, and diversity initiatives. The publication demonstrates CAF's commitment to mobilizing capital for sustainable development in the region, with USD 2.5 billion approved in 2023 for sustainable projects, particularly in water and sanitation, education, and urban development, while emphasizing the institution's role in promoting regional integration and innovative solutions for global challenges.
