Navigating Investment Governance and International Commitments: Introduction to the IPF Manila tool kit for policy coherence
From addressing climate change and tax avoidance to upholding labor standards and protecting biodiversity, countries’ investment governance overlaps with a web of international commitments.
The Investment Policy Forum (IPF) Manila Tool Kit—created together with investment officials from 35 developing countries at the 2024 IPF—helps investment policy-makers map out and navigate their country’s international agreements and commitments, enabling informed decisions in line with their policy priorities.
On April 29, IISD will hold a webinar to:
- introduce the final version of the IPF Manila Tool Kit as a practical resource for policy-makers,
- lead a discussion with investment policy-makers and experts on how the tool kit can best be used and the importance of coherent investment governance across international commitments and policy areas.
- explore the tool kit's application in different country contexts.
The webinar will wrap up with an announcement regarding the 2026 IPF.
