dc.description.abstractThe inclusion of environmental criteria in microfinance products to promote sustainable activities, access to clean or more efficient use of energy or to reduce climatic and environmental risk for low-income households or microenterprises (i.e., green microfinance)—is a dynamic and growing market in LAC, with existing and forthcoming opportunities. However, client outreach, clear strategies and institutional buy-in are still limited. Better coordination and appropriate tools, products and strategies need to be developed to achieve the potential of a very promising green microfinance sector in LAC.
