As part of the collaboration between both organizations in the area of climate risk training, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – a member of the World Bank Group – through its IFC Green Banking Academy, and Management Solutions, organized the first Climate Risk Management Course for the banking sector in Latin America, with business support from FELABAN (Latin American Federation of Banks).
The course, designed and taught by IFC and Management Solutions experts in sustainable finance and climate risk management, was attended by 68 banking sector professionals working in the areas of risk, business or sustainability at 31 different financial institutions from 14 countries in the Latin American region, and was conducted in virtual format, advancing the agenda of climate risk integration in the banking sector in line with the World Bank Group's commitment to align with the Paris agreement.
