British International Investment (BII), the UK's development finance institution, has launched a new toolkit designed to accelerate investment into development and climate finance in emerging markets. This initiative aims to provide fund managers with practical resources to navigate climate-related risks and opportunities, particularly in regions most vulnerable to climate change.
Key Features of the Toolkit:
-
TCFD Alignment: The toolkit is structured around the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, offering guidance on governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.
-
Maturity Matrix: A self-assessment tool enables fund managers to evaluate their progress in implementing TCFD recommendations.
-
Practical Templates: Includes templates and step-by-step guidance tailored for fund managers at various stages of integrating climate considerations into their investment processes.
This resource is part of BII's broader strategy to mobilize private capital for climate initiatives in developing economies. By providing tools that address the specific challenges of emerging markets, BII aims to bridge the gap between climate finance needs and investment opportunities.
