IFC¡¯s Climate Finance (CF) Program; a key initiative of the Financial Institutions Group (FIG); is designed to support financial intermediary lending to clean and resource-efficient projects; as well as Climate Risk investments in emerging markets. The primary objective of the CF program is to bolster FIG climate investments and assist financial institutions in Africa in integrating climate finance into their business models while considering the impacts of Climate Risk. By integrating climate risk management into their operations; financial institutions can enhance their resilience to climate-related impacts. This leads to more informed decision-making; better risk assessment; and improved financial stability. The ripple effects include increased investor confidence; more sustainable business practices; and a stronger emphasis on long-term planning. As financial institutions become more adept at managing climate risks; they can drive broader economic stability; support sustainable development; and contribute to the global effort to combat climate change. This holistic approach not only safeguards the financial sector but also promotes environmental stewardship and social well-being.
