Global policy
Multilateral organisations are increasingly focused on sustainable finance policy reforms to support sustainable, inclusive growth. The PRI engages with these organisations to share research and policy recommendations.
Our Global Policy work promotes policy alignment, clarity and effectiveness across jurisdictions, through research and analysis on foundational financial and real economy policy reforms, in support of the PRI’s mission, its six principles, and our signatory policy expertise and engagement activities.
To this end, the PRI also engages with multilateral organisations, UN agencies and host governments of key international forums to support ambitious policy reforms on sustainable finance and real-economy policies in alignment with global sustainability goals.

Letter to the World Bank's President
As a follow up of the October World Bank/IMF meetings, the PRI wrote to the World Bank to outline a set of necessary reforms to support and strengthen the World Bank’s ability to catalyse private finance towards addressing today’s challenges.
