Course information

Join us for the second in a series of webinars in collaboration with IFC (International Finance Corporation.) This insightful webinar led by Deo Onyango, Senior Industry Specialist with IFC’s Financial Institutions Group (FIG,) will explore the transformative potential of green finance in the built environment. Titled "Greening the Future: IFC’s Finance Tools for Sustainable Buildings,” this session will showcase how IFC’s innovative financial instruments - ranging from green bonds and green mortgages and blended finance - are enabling financial institutions and developers to scale up sustainable building practices across emerging markets.

Drawing on real-world case studies from South Africa and beyond, Deo will highlight how IFC’s EDGE certification and technical assistance have catalysed market shifts, reduced emissions, and unlocked new investment opportunities. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how to structure green financial products, build internal capacity, and leverage IFC’s advisory and investment support to develop a pipeline of certified green assets.

The webinar will also delve into the role of performance-based incentives, risk-sharing facilities, and market awareness campaigns in accelerating adoption. Whether you are a banker, developer, policymaker, or sustainability professional, this session will equip you with the tools and insights needed to align your portfolio with climate goals and tap into the growing demand for resilient, resource-efficient buildings.
