GICSF-AG Webinars
Since 2020, the GICSF-AG has been organising a webinar series dedicated to Green Inclusive Finance in which presentations by e-MFP GICSF-AG members and other relevant inclusive finance stakeholders have led to engaging discussions in diverse topics.
The webinars present a unique opportunity to learn from the sector, exchange experiences and present your activities in green inclusive finance. Webinars are public and recordings are shared through social media and this webpage.
If you or your organisation are interested in presenting your green activities, please contact Joana Afonso (jafonso@e-mfp.eu)
