The increased focus and agreement on the requirement for the planet to be more sustainable has led to an array of new research and financial products. The new buzz phrase is transition financing which is being seen as the path to achieving a sustainable world. The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2019) has the main objective of transition finance is to optimise access to finance for sustainable development to avoid financing gaps or socio-economic setbacks. This chapter examines some of the products and markets in current use by financial institutions and investors. It describes their use and recent research in this area as well as some gaps in this research.

The Members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD have set an ambitious and specific target: reduce by one half the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. The aid management systems of DAC Members represent key elements in the basic architecture for attaining that goal. A Comparison of Management Systems for Development Co-operation in OECD/DAC Members provides a panaroma of aid management systems of DAC Members. It describes, analyses and compares those systems and provides specific examples. In addition, it presents the main themes of reflection within the DAC with key policy statements.
