The objective of this TOR is to assist IFC in developing methodologies to assess certifications on climate eligibility; both mitigation and adaptation; for IFC trade and SCF financing; especially short-term finance (STF) products. This would enable IFC to credibly scale-up climate financing; resulting in more impact on green jobs; Scope 3 decarbonization; and flows of climate-enabling goods. The methodology will cover on international certifications with climate co-benefits (for agri commodities; forestry; etc.) as well as global buyers’ environmental and social management systems for suppliers that include climate-related metrics (for manufactured goods such as apparel-footwear; electronics; etc.). Methodologies must align with the IFC Definitions and Metrics for Climate Related Activities; the MDB Common Principles for Climate Mitigation Finance Tracking[1] <https://worldbankgroup-my.sharepoint.com/personal/szuberi_ifc_org/Documents/Documents/CBD/Climate%20Certification/Draft%20TOR%20CATSCF%20Components%201%20%202%20v5.docx#_ftn1> as well as other specified IFC’s climate and sustainability standards. Alignment with other well-established international standards (e.g.; SBTi; CDP; GHG Protocol) should also be assessed.[1] <https://worldbankgroup-my.sharepoint.com/personal/szuberi_ifc_org/Documents/Documents/CBD/Climate%20Certification/Draft%20TOR%20CATSCF%20Components%201%20%202%20v5.docx#_ftnref1> https://www.eib.org/attachments/documents/mdb_idfc_mitigation_common_principles_en.pdf <https://www.eib.org/attachments/documents/mdb_idfc_mitigation_common_principles_en.pdf>
