For banks in Africa & Middle East (AME): Join us on 06 November for this third in a series of regionally tailored webinars on climate-related topics relevant to the needs of banks in AME as they progress their #climate mitigation efforts. Tackling climate mitigation represents a multifaceted and multi-year transformation for banks in the region, impacting every single aspect of their business and operating models. However, with evolving standards, methodologies, public policies and regulation, the way to go about this transformation is still being shaped and approaches by different banks vary significantly. This session will provide an opportunity for participants to learn from the experiences of 3 financial institutions from the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, and Morocco as they showcase their climate mitigation efforts so far including challenges ahead and net-zero opportunities from a regional perspective.
