The World Bank Group is the largest source of multilateral finance for forests, and a standard setter for international finance broadly. However, the Bank invests significantly more each year in sectors demonstrated to be primary drivers of deforestation such as agriculture, energy and mining, and transportation; than what it invests in forests.
The Bank Information Center has conducted research to analyze development finance flows and their impacts on forests, and as part of this research initiated four in-depth case studies examining Bank projects and policies that have had impacts on forests, or the potential for key impacts on forests. These case studies were selected to cover a variety of sectors and geographies, and were focused on operations in Peru, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Cambodia.
