The dashboard on scaling up green finance is based on a set of ideal indicators that makes it possible to track and understand the greening of national financial systems. It is a first attempt to catalogue desirable series that allow the evolution, change and trend of a phenomenon (rather than its absolute level) to be analysed

Furthermore, while the dashboard is presented at an aggregate level, it is intended for use at the jurisdictional level. To this end, the dashboard includes graphs for aggregate regions on the left and basic metadata on the right that describe the country coverage and provide sources where these data and further breakdowns can be found, i.e. links to mostly interactive websites.

Possible sources of data were identified, at least partially, for 21 indicators.

The dashboard including metadata with the charts as separate graphics files and a structured Excel file with the source data for the charts is self-containing.

The previous version of this Dashboard, published in March 2021, is available here.
