Join USAID’s Online Discussion on Microfinance and Climate Change
The microLINKS Speaker’s Corner will host an online discussion titled Microfinance and Climate Change: Can MFIs Promote Environmental Sustainability?. Hosted by Dan Lundmark, this Speaker’s Corner is facilitated by a panel of specialists from GreenMicrofinance and from three Indian MFIs MIMO Finance, Wesco Credit and ESAF.
Each day participants will be invited to share their own experiences, questions and comments in the discussion forum:
- Day 1 (Tuesday, November 18) - What is the impact of microenterprise and microfinance clients on the natural environment?
- Day 2 (Wednesday, November 19) - How can MFIs promote environmental sustainability while still meeting their ‘core mission’ of reducing poverty?
- Day 3 (Thursday, November 20) - What is the role of donors and investors in ensuring environmental sustainability of an MFI and their clients?
