Explore how Finance Ministries are safeguarding macroeconomic and fiscal stability while positioning themselves as leaders in the transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient economies. 

The Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action has released during its 14th Ministerial Meeting the third edition of the Climate Action Statement and an Interactive Map, the world’s most comprehensive finance ministry–led database of completed and ongoing climate policy actions.  This Interactive Map features over 500 climate policy actions from nearly 70 ministries of finance worldwide. The CAS 2025 highlights how ministries of finance are not only safeguarding macroeconomic stability and fiscal sustainability but also positioning themselves as leaders in seizing the opportunities of the transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient economies amid a rapidly evolving global landscape.
