MICROCAPITAL BRIEF: JuST Institute Preview of Training on Delivering Climate, Biodiversity & Inclusive Finance to Smallholder Farmers Available Online December 12, 2023

The France-based NGO Just Sustainability Transitions (JuST) Institute is holding an online session December 12 to educate potential participants about a mentoring and training program for financial services providers (FSPs) looking to orient their work toward “climate adaptation and biodiversity conservation.” The program, which is for loan officers and managers employed by microfinance institutions (MFIs), takes place online over a period of four to six months. Participation can be part of an MFI becoming certified for its “green” focus. This 90-minute preview session will be held in English and is focused on service providers active in Asia.

Among the JuST Institute’s offerings are: (1) support in product development for investors seeking to boost their funding of climate adaptation and the conservation of biodiversity; and (2) certification of FSPs’ portfolios regarding the extent of their commitments to the same.

The JuST Institute’s Board of Directors includes representatives from the France-based bank BNP Paribas and the Global Environment Facility, whose funding is administered by the World Bank.
