and for getting both consumers and businesses to internalize the true cost of their behavior. The toolkit and the DWG's other IGG initiative - the DPIGI — complement each other. Financing the IGG transformation will be a major challenge to the global economy in the 21st century. Both public and private funds for such investments in IGG will be of utmost importance. In addition, it is also vital for countries to be able to continue leveraging financial resources to that end, where the private sector also has a key role to play. The 2012 Los Cabos Leaders' Declaration mandated the DWG to explore ways to scale up private finance for IGG investments in developing countries, especially LICs. This is being pursued through initial steps to set up the DPIGI, which aims to bring together diverse relevant public and private stakeholders to identify and address existing bottlenecks and to scale up financial investments for inclusive green growth in developing countries, especially LICs. In a first stocktaking undertaken by the IFC, knowledge gaps were examined and initial insights presented. An expanded stocktaking exercise will identify promising ideas for innovative approaches to leveraging private investment in IGG to support sustainable development. This work will be extended in collaboration with interested partners as input to the 2013 G20 Leaders' Summit to serve as a base for establishing the DPIGI in 2014.
