Banque Centrale des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (BCEAO) and AFI are orginizing Virtual In-Country Training on Inclusive Green Finance on 9 June 2021. The conference will host BCEAO staff to learn about policy developments and initiatives on climate change and environmental degradation, the concept of inclusive green finance, the role of financial regulation and financial institutions in supporting resilience building and mitigating the impacts of climate change in the region.

Inclusive green finance is a rapidly developing policy area that supports actions toward resilience building and mitigation of environmental change impacts through financial inclusion. It leverages financial inclusion to support low-income populations to adapt and build their resilience to environmental change and contribute to low carbon development. This event will also provide a platform for BCEAO to exchange ideas and chart out potential actions to inclusive green finance policymaking and support climate and development objectives of member countries, and the broader global climate and sustainable development goals.

Kindly confirm your participation by 4 June 2021.
