Earlier this month, Managing Director, Chris Smith, and Associate, Prerna Sukhija, kicked off BwB's collaboration with UNDP Nepal on a project that aims to channel financing towards climate-friendly and nature-positive activities in support of the nation's transition to a sustainable future.
As part of this initiative, Chris recently led a capacity-building workshop on thematic debt issuances for key national stakeholders in Nepal.
The event brought together individuals from both the public and private sectors, including representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Investment Board of Nepal, and leading commercial banks.
With a strong practical focus, the workshop equipped participants with tools to define new pathways for directing investment towards regenerating natural ecosystem services.
“As Nepal progresses on its path of economic development, thematic and outcome-based bonds have tremendous potential to open up new lines of investment for the country. By aligning financial resources with environmental goals, it is possible to unlock economic growth while protecting Nepal’s hugely valuable natural heritage,” commented Chris.
BwB is proud to be supporting Nepal’s journey towards a greener and more resilient tomorrow.
