About
This forward-looking workshop explores climate fintech—the intersection of climate change, financial services, and digital technologies—as a transformative tool in mobilizing sustainable finance. It will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of how fintech can help overcome barriers to climate investment and support financial product innovation tailored to Zambia’s evolving capital market. Designed specifically for industry players, regulators, innovators, and capital market investors, this workshop aligns with Zambia’s broader agenda under the Capital Markets Master Plan, particularly initiatives that seek to enhance digital financial infrastructure, strengthen financial inclusion, and promote the development of green and sustainable financial products. Participants will explore the critical role of the private sector while drawing insights from global experiences.

Understand the Concept of Climate Fintech and its relevance to the Zambian capital market. 2. Identify Structural Barriers to climate finance and assess how fintech can mitigate them. 3.
