AgriFinance Community of Practice (CoP) - Webinar on Assessing Climate Risk for Agriculture
The SME Finance Forum has created a Community of Practice on Agrifinance, a group of AgriFinance experts and practitioners from member and non-member institutions, to discuss experiences and document good practices and innovations in the field. One main objective of this CoP is to promote learning and sharing of good practice examples that help members improve their offering and better serve the Agri-SMEs.
***
To kickstart 2022, the AgriFinance CoP is organizing a webinar on January 19th, 2022 at 8 a.m. EST, on “Assessing Climate Risk for Agriculture” featuring the work of Agroclimatica, a unique solution that quantifies the climate and production risk of agricultural credit application and through the transparency foments increased lending into agriculture. It simultaneously promotes climate smart agriculture while providing Green Finance Indicators, allowing institutions to monitor their Co2 footprint and report on their efforts towards net-cero.
Given the importance of this theme, the CoP is also preparing the next meeting for April 2022 and would like to invite members of the SME Finance Forum to express interest in sharing their work in this area and be part of the panel in April.
