Towards a greener Future

2 3 At the same time as the COP23 and a few weeks before the Paris Climate Finance Summit, green finance appears as one of the most promising solutions to fight against climate change. Beyond that, green finance plays a key role to accompany the ecological transition by promoting sustainable investment strategies, selecting low-carbon projects and creating innovative instruments.

To support the adaptation of financial actors, AFD has launched the SUNREF initiative in 2006. SUNREF’s objective is to mobilize the financial sector of partner countries to reduce global pollution, local pollution and to optimize the use of natural resources (energy efficiency, cleaner production, circular savings, etc.).

SUNREF addresses the need to mobilize the private and public productive sectors to facilitate the transition to a greener economy and thus supports the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

SUNREF seeks for sustainability of operations thanks to the use of loan provision which is powerful tool for selecting the most viable projects from a commercial and technological point of view, and the capacity building of the stakeholders which contributes to increase enterprises and banks partner competencies on green financing and their agility to seize green investments opportunities.

SUNREF has a huge potential of replication based on the dynamic created during the last Welcoming remarks Welcoming years: with a global commitment amount close to EUR 2.5 billion in loans from which EUR 1.4 billion have already been disbursed, SUNREF contributes to 35% of AFD climate / mitigation financing objectives.

Alongside with its operational programs, AFD also wishes to provide its partner banks with an opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices across continents and topics, institutions and methods, operations and risk management. Somehow the SUNREF network is a community, whose members all share the same goals and challenges in order to implement a successful ecological transition. AFD is strongly convinced this community can play a key role to bring innovative ideas for the international policy-makers on green finance.

This belief led AFD to launch the first SUNREF Workshop, which took place in Marseille in June 2016. It gathered 9 partner banks from Egypt, Turkey, Mauritius, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. Other partners from financial or non-financial institutions (partner donors such as the EC and IDB, technical assistants, French banking actors, etc.) also actively participated in the discussions.

The objectives of this first edition were the following: (i) creating an appropriate place for discussion and technical knowledge sharing; (ii) strengthening technical capacities on energy efficiency and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) aspects; and (iii) sharing examples of innovative projects implemented in France, through regional field visits.

In short: to discuss solutions and join forces.

The workshop allowed for successful technical exchanges among participants on methods, processes, and tools to better apply SUNREF (best available technologies, DOs and DON’Ts, etc.). The results of the first workshop are synthetized in a capitalization document available on the SUNREF website.

To build on this fruitful first edition, the second Workshop of SUNREF partners will take place in November 7th-10th 2017, in the Republic of Mauritius. It is kindly hosted by the SUNREF Indian Ocean partner banks in Mauritius: SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd and Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB).

This second edition will draw on the experience of the first workshop in its design and pedagogical process: a balance between participative debates and field visits, and between external experts’ presentations and participants’ concrete exchanges of practices.

The topics of the workshop have been determined in accordance with the expectations of the participants. This edition will focus on how structural changes within a financial institution can allow green finance to emerge as a core activity; focusing on technical topics such as climate change adaptation and mitigation, environmental and social risks management, and impact measurement.

Three field visits will allow for participants to observe different types of technologies successfully implemented in Mauritius.

This second workshop will gather a large group of partner banks from Kenya, Tunisia, China, Indonesia, Mauritius, Egypt, Turkey, India, Armenia …

We look forward to meeting you there!
