Coalition Secretariat

The Secretariat to the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action is hosted at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington DC, and managed by the World Bank Group in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The Secretariat provides day-to-day operational, technical and logistical support to the Co-Chairs and Sherpas of the Coalition, and plays a convening role for all ministerial and thematic engagements.

Secretary of the Coalition

According to the Memorandum of Understanding, the Secretariat is led by the Secretary - the World Bank senior staff member.

Mr. Frank Van Leven  is the Acting Secretary of the Coalition Secretariat since July 2024 from at the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. He is an expert in macro-economics and policy making.

Institutional Partners

The Coalition benefits greatly from active collaboration with its 30 Institutional Partners. They play key technical and advisory roles in supporting the efforts of Finance Ministers in designing and implementing policies to address climate change. Institutional partners are particularly relevant in providing technical support to the six Helsinki Principle workstreams on Paris Alignment, Carbon Pricing, Green Budgeting, Greening the Financial Sector and NDC Support and Implementation.
