In order to create more opportunities for Private Sector Investment in support of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in Africa countries, the Climate Change and Green Growth Department (PECG) at the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Natural Eco Capital Ltd designed and developed Climate Change Screening and Assessment Toolkits for Green Investment for SMEs in Africa. Also, developed were Green Jobs Tracking Tool and Guidelines for Mainstreaming Climate Change through Lines of Credit (LoC), primarily focusing on how to inculcate climate change protocols and criteria in investment decisions.
These efforts which focus on Scaling climate action through climate technology and innovation by SMEs build on the work of African Financial Alliance on Climate Change (AFAC). AFAC aims to put the financial sector at the centre of climate action in Africa.
In order to create awareness, understanding and indeed, capacities to utilize these toolkits and guidelines, a series of programmes have been planned under Improving Private Sector and SMEs Capacity to Assess Climate Risks and Opportunities for Climate Action and Green Investment
The next in the series is the virtual programme on Mainstreaming Climate Change Measures in Financial Institutions’ Lines of Credit slated to hold as follows:
Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2020
Time: 2.00 – 4.00PM (GMT+1)
