SPOTLIGHT ON CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE: 🌍 As global food systems come under pressure, innovative digital solutions are transforming the way farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa access critical resources. High transaction costs prevent farmers from obtaining quality inputs and connecting with markets, limiting their productivity and resilience. Digital technologies offer a powerful solution to reduce these costs and bridge the gap to essential services. Learn how @IFC is supporting smallholder farmers in embracing these solutions: http://wrld.bg/93sy50UAaHa #IFCAgribusiness Nina Zegger Ahmad Slaibi

How can #circulareconomy principles help address urgent water and climate challenges. A recent knowledge exchange hosted by The World Bank between water utility companies in #Morocco, #Pakistan, #Peru, #Serbia, and #VietNam yielded these takeaways: ♻️ A circular economy is a path to climate #adaptation and #mitigation: Solutions like wastewater reuse can enhance water security, while green areas and #greeninfrastructure can help reduce urban heat and mitigating flood risks. 🌴 Nature-based solutions can provide multiple benefits: Constructed #wetlands, for example, treat wastewater, restore ecosystems, and sequester carbon, while keeping operation and maintenance costs low. 🛣️ Policy drives change: For example, #Peru’s “Hoja de Ruta” (Circular Economy Roadmap for Water and Sanitation) aims to set the stage for implementing circular economy principles nationwide, including the optimization of water use, reusing treated wastewater, generating renewable energy and restoring ecosystems. 🫂 People sustain change: Building a circular future is as much about people as it is about technology or policy. Inclusive stakeholder engagement is key to the success of the circular economy projects. https://lnkd.in/dWJd95Nc Lisa Da Silva Irina Likhachova Beatrice Phillips Helena Dill Thuy Dinh Nadine Shamounki Ghannam

Managing Director at IFC - International Finance Corporation
Today is #WorldWetlandsDay. Wetlands are among the most valuable ecosystems on our planet. They help purify water, prevent coastal erosion, protect biodiversity, and safeguard communities from flooding. Yet, natural wetlands are declining rapidly, with 35% of them gone in the last fifty years. At IFC, we are scaling up biodiversity finance that helps protect ecosystems, reverse nature loss, and shift to more sustainable land use. Our first-to-market Biodiversity Finance Reference Guide and its companion resources set world-class standards for nature finance to help mobilize private capital into this growing space.
