BACKGROUND

Climate change and nature loss are the source of risks that threaten economic resilience and financial stability,particularly across Africa, where ecosystems underpin a large portion of GDP and livelihoods. As the understanding of these risks deepens globally, central banks and financial supervisors in Africa are uniquely positioned to assess, manage, and respond to them within their mandates.

This in-person workshop —jointly convened by MEFMI and WWF’s Greening Financial Regulation Initiative—is designed for regulators and supervisors with basic to intermediate understanding of sustainable finance. It provides a structured, practical learning journey: beginning with introduction to environmental issues within a scientific and African-specific context, exploring the relevance of these issues to the financial system, understanding relevant frameworks, hands-on experience with nature-risk tools, peer learning, concluding with an exploration of opportunities in the region.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• Understand the science and drivers of climate change and nature loss, and why these are financially material in the African context.
