Integrating climate risk management and green finance strategies

Crédit Agricole du Maroc Climate Risk and Opportunity Assessment

According to the International Monetary Fund, it’s becoming ever more critical for countries to adapt their economies to climate challenges. This includes the adoption of increased green investments and work to support a just transition across and within countries. These climate adaptation policies should be included in national economic strategies, as investments in resilient infrastructure and better flood protection could avert economic losses.

The European Investment Bank engaged us to work with Crédit Agricole du Maroc’s (CAM) to strengthen their resilience to climate change and align their operations with international sustainability standards. Our team focused on assessing climate-related risks and opportunities across CAM’s portfolio. We developed methodologies for climate risk analysis, created tools for integrating climate data into credit processes, and designed a disclosure framework aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. We also provided hands-on training for Credit Agricole’s board, management, and employees to incorporate climate considerations into governance and decision-making.

Efforts such as these will help Moroccan financial institutions better prepare for climate-related risks while championing sustainability in their operations.
