We are delighted to announce we have joined the Global Capacity Building Coalition (GCBC). As an initiative, the #GCBC brings together UN agencies, MDBs, private finance initiatives, and philanthropic organizations to accelerate and scale climate and transition finance capacity building for financial institutions and finance professionals, with a focus on emerging markets and developing economies.
Earlier this week, the Global Capacity Building Coalition (GCBC), of which we are proud to be a member, announced the launch of its Digital Platform. This site is designed to be a go-to resource for financial institutions worldwide that are developing strategies for addressing climate change, especially in emerging markets and developing countries. Educating financial professionals on the nuances of sustainable investing will prove crucial in tackling the world’s toughest climate challenges, and this platform will be invaluable as an educational resource. Sustainability has always been a key focus for CFA Institute, and I’m thrilled to support this unprecedented initiative as it comes to life, especially during Climate Week in NYC.
