Online Library
Access the GICSF-AG online library on green inclusive finance here
This is the first online database dedicated to Green Inclusive Finance. The objective is to be both comprehensive and focused, and to be a useful repository for different types of actors with different levels of expertise and who are looking to answer a broad range of questions. Therefore, the publications collected include academic as well as policy- or practitioner-oriented publications, which can deal with concrete case studies or more abstract concepts. The search options are there to help the interested reader refine its quest.
The online library aims to support exchanges of experiences, results, and lesson learnt.
The online library is hosted at HEDERA, IT Partner of the e-MFP Green Inclusive & Climate-smart Finance Action Group:
