Inclusive Green Finance - a Regulatory Perspective
Webinar by the e-MFP's Green Inclusive and Climate-Smart Finance Action Group
While climate change deepens poverty, financial inclusion can build the resilience of individuals, either to a sudden and extreme climate event or the gradual effects of varying rainfall patterns, sea-level rise, or saltwater intrusion. Savings, credit, insurance, money transfers and new digital finance channels provide adaptation strategies for climate change impacts. Financial inclusion can also expand access to green technologies that help mitigate climate change. Inclusive green finance is an evolving policy area pioneered by AFI member institutions implementing policies, regulations, and national strategies to mitigate or build resilience to climate change. The policies fall within four key pillars - the 4Ps of inclusive green finance: Provision, Promotion, Protection and Prevention.
The Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) is the world’s leading organization on financial inclusion policy and regulation. Currently, 100 member institutions make up the AFI network including central banks, ministries of finance and other financial policymaking or regulatory institutions from 88 developing countries and emerging markets.
Speakers: Johanna Nyman, Head of Inclusive Green Finance at the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI)
Moderator: Davide Forcella (YAPU Solutions, CERMi and co-Head of the Green Inclusive and Climate-Smart Finance Action Group)
