Abstract
In response to the Bali Action Plan’s calls for an expanded international response to climate change, the World Bank created a series of Climate Investment Funds (“CIFs”) to provide “immediate financial resources” to respond to global climate challenge. Since the creation of the funds last year, more than $6 billion has been pledged to CIF programs by donor countries and the CIFs have quickly become leaders in international climate investment, at least in terms dollar amount.
