Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse and evaluate the evolution of the approach of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to its involvement in carbon finance in the light of its carbon funds and financial mechanisms. The author investigated goals and scope of activity of the tools created by the IBRD in the years 1999-2015. The methods used include descriptive and comparative analysis. As a result, the author has grouped and characterized the IBRD’s tools and made a list of observed changes in the IBRD’s approach to its involvement in carbon finance, which includes in particular: a change in the area of interest, a change in the role of providers of capital and a shift from project approach to programme approach.
