Join us for an upcoming webinar that will address a key challenge in scaling up nature and climate investments in developing countries: the limited capacity of financial institutions to implement and enforce Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS) and impact Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) requirements. This session will introduce participants to the essential components of ESMS and impact MRV, aligned with the standards set by the Subnational Climate Fund (SCF). Learn how to bridge the capacity gap and strengthen your institution’s ability to support sustainable investments. Don’t miss this opportunity to build expertise in these critical areas!
