Book Description
In recent years, various stakeholders in the financial inclusion domain have begun taking an interest in the possibility of designing innovative financial services – tailored to the needs of vulnerable agricultural actors – that can also promote the adoption of sustainable practices, technologies and production models, all aimed at fostering farmers’ resilience and growth in the face of rising effects of climate change. Nested at the intersection between financial inclusion and environmental sustainability, this “inclusive green finance” approach to development seeks to combine the promotion of different financial services suitable for the needs of small-scale agriculture with a range of incentives aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture, forest protection, efficient water use, clean energy transition, and a host of other practices linked to climate change adaptation and mitigation, environmental protection, and efficient use of natural resources, among other aspects. The publication seeks to contribute towards filling the current knowledge gap on inclusive green finance by presenting a series of concrete case studies that touch upon different aspects of green finance in agriculture, with a specific, overarching focus on the promotion of sustainable small-scale agricultural production. This selection of case studies aims to showcase how widely differing types of institutions, engaged in the promotion of agriculture in developing countries, have created innovative and impactful models for mainstreaming climate-smart and “green” considerations in their financial provision activities - models that could be further replicated and adapted by different stakeholders in their own contexts.

Book Description
The global landscape study on ‘Green finance as a critical lever for delivering sustainable agrifood system’ is an inclusive commentary on the current status of green finance to agrifood sector in the global south and its support system. This document provides evidence that the current green finance trends favour the development of the clean energy industry, whereas smallholder agriculture has not had the same success. Financing the agrifood sector in a “business as usual” mode is not a sufficient condition to mitigate the risks emanated from a range of climatic shocks and unprecedented events impacting the global food value chains. Sustainable financing mechanisms through innovative instruments and business practices are potential solutions and green finance emerges as the way forward to shift the focus from economic profit creation to the generation of stakeholder’s value (economic, environmental, and social governance). The document presents an excellent opportunity that can help elicit ongoing initiatives, application mechanisms, and significant issues to build global narratives about developing an inclusive approach to green finance services for the agrifood sector.

Book Description
Unless action is taken now to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate change impacts will seriously compromise food production in countries and regions that are already highly food-insecure. The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, represents a new beginning in the global effort to stabilize the climate before it is too late. It recognizes the importance of food security in the international response to climate change, as reflected by many countries prominent focus on the agriculture sector in their planned contributions to adaptation and mitigation. To help put those plans into action, this report identifies strategies, financing opportunities, and data and information needs. It also describes transformative policies and institutions that can overcome barriers to implementation. The State of Food and Agriculture is produced annually. Each edition contains an overview of the current global agricultural situation, as well as more in-depth coverage of a topical theme."

Book Description
A large financing need challenges climate-adjusted infrastructure in developing Asia, estimated at $26 trillion till 2030. This necessitates crowding-in private sources to meet financing, efficiency, and technology gaps. However, a lack of bankable projects is a major hurdle. This publication suggests one possible innovative financing approach. The Green Finance Catalyzing Facility (GFCF) proposes a blended finance framework for governments and development entities to better leverage development funds for risk mitigation, generate a pipeline of bankable green infrastructure projects, and directly catalyze private finance. The GFCF provides useful inputs for the current debate on mainstreaming green finance into country financial systems.

Book Description
This book is the second of two volumes which highlight the concept of financial inclusion from the Islamic perspective. An important element of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), financial inclusion has been given significant prominence in reform and development agendas proposed by the United Nations and G-20. The significance of Islamic financial inclusion goes beyond improved access to finance to encompass enhanced access to savings and risk mitigation products, as well as social inclusion that allows individuals and companies to engage more actively in the real economy. It represents one of the important drivers of economic growth. This volume explores the financial risks associated with lending to low-income groups due to high poverty levels and the lack of collateralization mechanisms. The first book on the market to provide empirical evidence of Islamic microfinance, deposit insurance and micro-entrepreneurship through the analysis of models and country case studies, this edited collection will be of value to those researching development finance, financial inclusion and Islamic finance.
