Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)

AIIB’s Sustainable Development Bond program connects investor capital to projects delivering impact for people, communities and economies. Since the inaugural issuance in 2019: ▪️ USD55 billion raised cumulatively through Sustainable Development Bonds ▪️ USD37.6 billion outstanding today ▪️ USD10.2 billion raised in 2025 across 13 currencies ▪️ Nine benchmark transactions in seven currencies, including three USD SEC benchmarks in a single calendar year, a first for AIIB In 2025, AIIB approved USD10.6 billion across 57 projects, with 71% aligned with climate considerations, up from 48% in 2021. Together, these efforts turn capital into infrastructure that improves lives, strengthens communities and supports more resilient economies. ➡️ Read the Sustainable Development Bonds Impact Report 2025: https://bit.ly/4ztTuGL #AIIB #SustainableFinance #CapitalMarkets #Infrastructure4Tomorrow #i4t

Ahead of AIIB’s 10th anniversary milestone on Jan. 16, this December marks 10 years since world leaders adopted the 🌐Paris Agreement. As President Jin Liqun writes in Devex, the timing of these two milestones is no accident. While negotiators at COP30 Brazil failed to agree on a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, countries reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris Agreement. Encouragingly, #COP30’s formal outcomes emphasize implementation, including calls for countries to develop investment plans for their nationally determined contributions and recommendations on just transition and social inclusion. To ensure the infrastructure we build today remains resilient for decades to come, we need sustainable financing at scale. At AIIB, we are committed to ensuring that at least half of our financing supports climate objectives. 🔗Read the full article: https://bit.ly/3MC84rO

🌏Today, climate change is not a distant threat—it is already reshaping lives, economies and landscapes. As a multilateral development bank, scaling up climate finance is central to fulfilling our mandate for sustainable growth. 🌱 From clean energy solutions and resilient transport networks to climate-smart urban development projects, our investments drive sustainable, inclusive growth while tackling the urgent challenge of climate change. 🔗 Guided by the 𝐀𝐈𝐈𝐁 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧, we work together with our members and partners to turn national priorities into bankable projects that deliver real impact: https://lnkd.in/gQhjjPFZ

Biodiversity is not just about protecting nature, it is about securing our future. Forests, wetlands, reefs and mangroves act as natural infrastructure by supporting livelihoods, storing carbon and shielding communities from climate risks. In our latest blog, we map out the practical ways to integrate biodiversity and nature into development decisions, creating resilient infrastructure that benefits both people and the planet. Read the blog to see how development can work with nature, not against it.

Our ecosystems are under unprecedented pressure. Urbanization, infrastructure and industry continue to erode forests, wetlands, reefs and mangroves—the very systems that protect communities and stabilize the climate. In our latest blog, we explore why failing to account for biodiversity in development decisions puts economies and societies at risk and what can be done to reverse this trend. Read the blog to understand the stakes and learn how development can protect the natural systems we rely on.

Climate change has pushed global health to a critical point. Currently, 3.3 billion people face increased health risks from extreme weather and environmental degradation. Natural disasters endanger lives and strain health systems, while declining ecosystems spread disease and weaken community resilience, leaving developing countries disproportionately affected. Integrating infrastructure, health and nature is key to building a sustainable and resilient future. Here’s how development finance supports planetary health: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dtRzYbqC
