Climate Safe Lending Fellows
Our Fellows are professionals who are embedding climate action within the core strategy, operations, and culture of financial institutions.
Fellows take part in an immersive, hands-on programme of workshops and peer learning, aimed at supporting them to grow their knowledge, networks, skills, and motivation to enable their financial institutions to foster a just transition to a climate-safe world
