Inclusive Green Finance Policy

Papua New Guinea enhance capabilities of service providers and staff of financial intermediaries, and improve access to energy for households in poor grid and off-grid locations in the rural areas of Pakistan.

We developed the framework foundations for an inclusive green finance policy (IGFP) for the financial sector of Papua New Guinea, in partnership with the Bank of Papua New Guinea and the Centre for Excellence in Financial Inclusion (CEFI). The 1st edition of PNG’s Inclusive and Green Taxonomy will be further developed, and should be used as catalyst and policy guide in transitioning from a conventional to a sustainable financial system, by establishing new structures and adapting existing ones, to drive the future growth and green inclusion, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency, climate-smart agriculture, green cities, and greenpreneurs.

We support financial institutions on a global scale to manage their environmental and social risks of lending activities and provide trainings in climate risk management and green lending opportunities, highlighting the importance of climate-related financial disclosure.

We assisted the Land Bank of the Philippines in establishing a credit line for energy efficiency and climate protection. As a result, the bank benefited from enhanced staff and operational capacity. It is now able to effectively manage its green lending activities, identify energy saving potential amongst clients, and attract potential clients for energy efficiency and renewable energy loans.

For various energy-efficient housing finance programmes in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and India, our experts designed tailored loan products for financial institutions, enhanced the capacity of their loan officers, facilitated lending operations, and promoted energy efficiency credits among the public.

We developed a Climate Risk Finance e-learning course (accessible online or via the QR code) for everyone who is interested.
