20

21

22 Needs for further capacity development support: Pakistan The financial sector need to support the NDC targets aiming at reducing carbon emissions and these should be adopted as key criteria for financing national development projects and activities by the national banks; New procedures and guidelines for the commercial banks need to be issued by the Central Bank to guide the implementation of the above; A priority list of sectors for low carbon climate resilient investments to guide the national banks should be developed based on their contributions to the total country carbon emissions; When financing mechanisms are being developed the existing institutional architecture needs to be considered; Need for capacity development and technical advisory support for development and assessment of bankable projects, including for funding from the Global Climate Fund Additional awareness raising activities are also needed (national workshops)

23

24

25 Needs for further capacity development support: Philippines Need for a signal/instructions/guideline from public authorities with regulatory functions, including from the Central Bank on the need to prioritize investments in low carbon climate resilient development; These guidelines need to be more general and less prescriptive to allow flexibility in choosing technologies and approaches for investments in low carbon climate resilient development projects according to the most recent developments; Further awareness raising and training of representatives of the financial and banking sector in understanding of the risk in a global context and the rationale behind green banking; Additional capacity building support for developing financial framework and strategic approaches for partnership; Strengthening the monitoring and evaluation procedures, and overall financial governance and financial institutions through developing of a green banking law.

26 Needs for further capacity development support: Sri Lanka Provide technical assistance for the development of a national sustainable/green financing roadmap and the supporting regulatory tools and mechanisms. Support the establishment of an Integrated Committee between the Sustainable Development Council, Climate Change Council, Central Bank, and in close collaboration with the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Wildlife, the Mahaweli Development and Environment and the Ministry of Finance and Policy Planning. Such measure will enhance the communications and institutional capacities of the main institutions involved in climate finance governance in the country. Enhance general awareness raising and technical training seminars for promotion and development of specific financing instruments Develop a training course/module on green banking/climate finance to train staff of the Central Bank and other banks.

27 Main outputs of the Regional Seminar Central Banks must guide and shape new financial paradigms by forming an enabling regulatory framework Green bonds emerged as a highvalue driver of sustainable financial change The fastest way to change any industry sector is to influence the regulatory mechanisms which govern it and the role of sustainable financing roadmaps ESCAP can play a key role in quickly matching the capacity development needs of the national climate experts with the agencies and partners providing such support though the SDG help Desk Key national champions were identified as critical drivers for CF Enhanced commitments towards concrete climateresponsive actions The need for national coordination and institutional coherence was identified

28 Recommendations for Banking Sector Integrate climate risk into risk management strategies Incentivize adaptation and climate-proof financial instruments to support climate change adaptation or minimise mal-adaptation along agro-value chains Explore opportunities to develop new products and services in collaboration with other actors Proactively support climate change adaptation by calling for greater financial inclusion (e.g. services that target women with a framework to monitor and evaluate progress.

29 Needs for Capacity Development The participants agreed on four broad areas where the project activities can make a difference and benefit the climate finance practitioners the most: Empower Central Banks: as the primary regulator of the national financial markets to develop green finance guidelines and advisory frameworks that will create national financial environment conductive to investments in low carbon climate resilient development, as well as linking to the broader financing for sustainable development. Awareness Raising: on financial instruments and technological developments for low carbon climate resilient development for financial institutions, including banks, insurance and securitization companies, capital markets institution, etc. on the climate risks on their investments, increase the attractiveness of sustainable/green banking. Information-Sharing & Coordination Mechanisms: Between ministries and government institutions, governmental and private financial institutions, private sector associations and bilateral and international development for coherent climate finance interventions. Empower SMEs and Financial Institutions: Develop bankable projects by building the technical capacity of writing fundable proposals to source budget from national and international origins.

30 Summary and Opportunities Central Banks are all members of the Sustainability Banking Initiative of IFC Domestic financial institutions are already playing a role through various initiatives Better links are needed between DFIs with NDC Implementing Agencies and targets Contributes to improved development and implementation of national climate change financing frameworks Create the policy environment to stimulate domestic financial institutions and private sector contributions to GHG Emissions Reductions
