2. Key Challenges for Inclusion in Result-Based Climate
Finance (RBCF)
• The novelty of Result-Based Climate Finance and its
technical complexity
• Sequencing of finance as payments to countries come ex-
post after verification; meaningful inclusion requires
resources
• Lack of capacities and resources to develop and pilot
mechanisms and arrangements for inclusive and targeted
payments
• Unequal power relations that determine who can participate
or voice concerns and may leave some groups out of
decision-making processes

3. Key instruments to enhance inclusion in WB RBCF
1. Environment and Social Framework (ESF)
enhances the World Bank’s commitment
to sustainable development through risk
management and generating
development opportunities
2. Benefit-sharing arrangements are
employed to go beyond to ‘do better’
with rewarding, providing incentives, and
enhancing social and development
outcomes.
Avoid, minimize and
manage risks
Mitigate, compensate for
adverse outcomes
Enhance social, gender
development
opportunities
Bank’s robust
safeguards policies,
Environmental and
Social Standards
EnABLE
programming

4. • For governments, benefit sharing provides a framework
for embedding social equity, human development, and
sustainability objectives into investments and maximizing
development benefits.
• For both the public and private sector, benefit sharing is
important for risk mitigation, providing incentives for
low-carbon development
• For local communities, in turn, it can provide
empowerment and agency, strengthen institutions, build
capacities, expand opportunities, ensure access to
resources, and improve local infrastructure and services
• The Bank may have limited direct influence to advocate
for benefit sharing during operations, and thus programs
like EnABLE can be leveraged to support inclusion and
gender equity. The Bank helps governments to design
regulatory framework and encourage them to include
benefit sharing in legal agreements, bidding documents,
etc.
Benefit sharing mechanisms

5. Social inclusion and gender equality in RBCF
Benefit-sharing arrangements are key for inclusion, climate justice, effectiveness of investments and sustainability
EnABLE aims to engage disadvantaged and marginalized community stakeholders at every stage of the process—including the
design of emission reductions measures, funding strategies and the governance of funding mechanisms to access and benefit
from the revolving flow of result-based payments in long term in line with carbon finance arrangements under the Paris
Agreement
CERF with EnABLE will produce high integrity carbon credit units by mitigating risks, addressing inequalities and injustice, and
advancing development opportunities
