One of the barriers to scaling up nature and climate investments in developing economies is the limited capacity of financial institutions to put in place and enforce environmental and social management systems (ESMS) and impact measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) requirements for investees. Hence, addressing these capacity gaps is key for Moto Hope Capital.
Represented by our Communications Coordinator Ms. Verarita Wananyanga, we were thrilled to attend the in-person workshop on “Managing ESG impacts and risks in nature and climate investments” held on Friday, June 28, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya.
The workshop was organized by The International Union for the Conservation of Nature IUCN in collaboration with Climate Bonds Initiative and delivered by WeESG. It covered in detail, key elements of ESMS and impact MRV, in line with requirements set forth by SCF as an example.
The comprehensive presentation by the wonderful trainer Susan Njoroge-WeESG, on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues and their impact on corporates, and Assessing Sustainability risks, added to the great peer learning and networking opportunities will go a long way in supporting our team’s daily roles and responsibilities at Moto Hope Capital as well as to positively impacting the community we serve!
