We need new ideas, institutions, and policies to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. Yet markets will not find a green direction alone. Governments have a unique ‘market-shaping’ role to play. Public investment and mission-oriented industrial strategy can galvanise green innovation by holistically shaping new markets, whilst green financial and monetary policy can ensure private capital aligns with climate and biodiversity goals prioritised by governments. Through academic research and engagement with high-level policymakers, IIPP is rethinking existing paradigms to articulate how ‘market-shaping’ policy approaches can accelerate the green structural economic transition.
At COP30, Professor Mariana Mazzucato will launch State Capacity and Capabilities for a Just Green World, produced with Esther Dweck, Brazil’s Ministry for Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI). The report demonstrates how governments can move from climate promises to delivery by investing in state capabilities, mission-oriented public–private partnerships and digital infrastructure. Prof. Mazzucato will also participate in several COP events, including the launch of IIPP’s working paper Mission-Oriented Country Platforms: Engines for the Green Transition, and contribute to the Strategic Economics Alliance’s Reflective Space for women economists.
Research and Policy Focuses
IIPP’s high-impact academic research challenges the dominant narrative that limits the role of the state to de-risking green private investments. Through empirical and theoretical work, we explore how public policy can strengthen green innovation chains and crowd in private investment. We have also articulated a critical role for central banks and financial regulators to steer finance in alignment with green missions.
IIPP works closely with governments, cities, and public financial institutions all over the world to implement market-shaping green policy approaches. By experimenting and co-creating with a range of public and private stakeholders, IIPP aims to transform how knowledge and policy are created and shared, and how global problems are solved.
New theory and new practice to advance a just green transition
Governments must lead the just green transition with bold economic strategies. Our work shows how mission-oriented policies can align growth with environmental and social goals.
Macrofinancial policy for a green and just transition
Macrofinancial policy must lead the green transition. Our research shows how central banks, regulators, and finance ministries can steer finance toward climate and biodiversity goals.
The Economics of Water
Human activity has destabilised the global water cycle, putting life and development goals at risk. The GCEW seeks to redefine water as a global common good to drive urgent, fair action.
State Capacity and Capabilities for a Just Green World
Governments must organise for climate action, not just announce goals. We outline how empowered public institutions can direct investment, shape innovation and drive a just transition.
Mission-Oriented Country Platforms: Engines for a just green transition
Country platforms can turn climate promises into economy outcomes. We propose a mission-oriented model that aligns governance, finance, partnerships, and state capacity to deliver climate goals.
Green patient finance for inclusive and sustainable economic development
State investment banks can drive the transition when empowered with mission-oriented mandates. We show how KfW and BNDES mobilise long-term finance where markets fail.
A Green and Just Planet
Green industrial strategy and finance must align with the 1.5ºC goal. We urge G20 countries to commit to development pathways that enable equitable, climate-driven growth.
Financial Stability at Risk: A Call to Central Banks on Ecosystem Tipping Points
Nature loss is a systemic financial risk. We outline how macrofinancial tools can redirect capital away from destructive activities and protect critical ecosystems like the Amazon.
The economic and financial risks of implementing the ‘30x30’ Global Biodiversity Framework targets
Protecting 30% of ecosystems by 2030 will reshape how land is used and financed. This paper shows how conservation targets create new macrofinancial risks.
