The United Nations Environment Programme – Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the Climate Change Division of the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation of Jamaica, and the Jamaica Bankers Association will deliver this event aimed at the Caribbean region on May 26th, 28th, and 29th.

The objective of the event is to sensitize the staff of financial institutions on Sustainable Finance and the importance of the negative impacts of climate change on the economy and biodiversity, identifying the most vulnerable sectors in this context. At the same time, it seeks to present tools that would allow financial institutions to manage potential physical and transition risks in their business portfolios and consider opportunities.

The workshop will be focused on the discussion of the state-of-the-art of Sustainable Finance in the world, with a special interest in climate risks and opportunities and their trends in the Caribbean. The target audience is financial institutions (FIs) in the aforementioned region.

The training will be conducted in English through a series of webinars from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm UTC-5 time on each day.
