The e-MFP Green Inclusive and Climate Smart Finance Action Group is pleased to invite all professionals working on green inclusive finance to participate in a series of four free online trainings on the Green Index 3.0 framework.
Each week a training on one of the 4 standards of the GI 3.0 framework will be delivered by the GICSF-AG Lead Experts Davide Forcella and Natalia Realpe Carrillo. The trainings will be offered in 3 languages (English, French, Spanish). Please see the calendar for each session below.
Learning objectives for each session:
Gain an initial understanding of the GI 3.0 standard and related best practices.
Develop the basis for assessing the status of your institution in relation to the standard and identifying gaps that require action.
Target audience: All actors working on green inclusive finance
During the sessions, the GICSF-AG aims to collect data on the specific standard from consenting financial services providers participating in the training. These data, collected with support of HEDERA, the GICSF-AG IT partner, will be analysed on an anonymous basis and the aggregated results will be shared during 2025 on the GICSF-AG website. The data will also allow the identification of good practices that can be showcased by the GICSF-AG in its future activities.
Registration:
Participants can attend and need to register individually for each session.
Participants attending the 4 sessions will receive a certificate of participation for the training series on The Green Index 3.0 Framework.
