A milestone for climate adaptation financing in India🌾 The agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable to #ClimateChange due to its dependency on stable weather patterns and natural resources. Shifts in temperature, rainfall, and extreme weather events can severely impact crop production and livestock, making agriculture highly susceptible to climate-related disruptions. To help farmers cope with the unpredictable effects of climate change, financing climate adaptation is crucial. By investing in resilient farming practices, we safeguard food security, protect livelihoods, and build a resilient future. The recently launched credit facility to support climate adaptation measures in agriculture tackles this issue. Under the initiative of Caspian, this innovative loan product enables microfinance institutions (MFI) to fund climate-adaptive technologies and thus enhance climate resilience in agriculture. This important initiative builds on our ongoing collaboration with Sustain Plus and Sa-Dhan to promote climate-resilient agricultural technologies. It combines our expertise in climate change-related issues, the field trials of Sustain Plus on climate-adaptive products and Sa-Dhan's extensive network in the microfinance sector, which allows us to mobilise #MFIs effectively. Based on successful field trials, we developed a framework for the integration of climate-adaptive technologies and fostered cooperation with financial institutions. The credit facility will enable financial institutions to expand their lending for climate-adapted energy and agricultural technologies, including Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE).
