In the Los Cabos Communique, the G20 announced a commitment to “maintaining a focus on inclusive green growth as part of our G20 agenda” and went on to “encourage further exploration of effective mechanisms to mobilize public and private funds for inclusive green growth investment in developing countries, including through the public-private Dialogue Platform on Inclusive Green Investments.”

As background for this decision, IFC undertook an extensive literature review and compiled a structured bibliography of relevant reports and research subsequently produced as a public document, “Private Investment in Green Growth and Climate-Related Activities.” This report substantially expands on this earlier work as a contribution to the further development of the Dialogue Platform.
