This project will raise awareness and create capacity to empower Brazilian Development Banks (DBs) to make better decision-making. It will achieve this by integrating climate-related risks and opportunities into credit operations, effectively supporting the promotion of a greener, low-carbon, and more resilient future aligned with the country's NDC.
BNDES and BDMG are the DBs to be piloting the project.
