Scaled inclusive green finance for climate adaptation and mitigation in Asia-Pacific

The impacts of climate change fall disproportionately on vulnerable and marginalized communities in developing countries, especially in rural areas. This programme aims to promote green financial inclusion for smallholder farmers and vulnerable communities in selected climate-vulnerable countries in Asia-Pacific. The vulnerable and rural communities are the main beneficiaries, reached through the partner financial service providers (FSPs) with an enhanced ability to serve these constituents.

The programme will support national partner FSPs that have technical and business development skills in greening their operations by developing green financial products tailored to vulnerable communities, green impact reporting and strengthen their ability to attract dedicated green funds from international investors. The programme will support policymakers to ensure a smooth and enabling environment to help vulnerable communities understand relevant green technologies to support their livelihoods and make financial services available to them.

This programme will be carried out by consortium collaboration. SEI is a lead coordinator and will work with the following partners:
