global collaborative actions to advance the climate and SDG agenda. It can further enhance their reputation and soft power within the international community and increase their influence with potential clients in EMDEs as a result.
- Strengthen ESG and advisory capacity
By attending CASI capacity building events, such as training, seminars and research activities, member institutions can enhance their own capacity in green banking and financial transactions,and gain the ability to help their client countries to develop a green financial policy framework as such green taxonomies, disclosure requirements, verification schemes, and policy incentives.
- Create bankable green investment opportunities
By organizing clients to attend CASI activities, member institutions can help raise their clients’ awareness on green and low-carbon transition and enable them to design and develop bankable green projects such as renewable energies, water and waste treatment, reforestation, and plastic recycling.
- Reduce sustainability risks for their investments
CASI can also provide technical support and policy advice to member institutions and their respective countries for identifying and managing climate- and ESG-related risks, thereby protecting the asset quality and valuation of their investment portfolios in the long-term run.
- Enhance effectiveness of knowledge delivery
Some member institutions are already offering capacity building programs with knowledge generated in their respective fields for their targeted clients. By joining CASI, a global alliance for aggregating sustainable finance knowledge from different but related fields and distributing such knowledge to a much larger network of audiences, member institutions can maximize the outreach potential of their learning programs and significantly enhance the cost effectiveness of knowledge delivery.
