Carbon finance helps the Bank achieve the Millennium Development Goal of ensuring environmental sustainability. This MDG specifies the following indicators for achieving this goal:
The proportion of land area covered by forest; The land area protected to maintain biological diversity; The gross domestic product per unit of energy use (as proxy for energy efficiency); and Carbon dioxide emissions (per capita).
The World Bank's current and proposed activities in carbon finance target not only the broader goal
of reducing carbon dioxide emissions-and potentially mitigating climate change-but also support
the Bank's broader sectoral strategic thrusts and development objectives.
