Greening the finance to finance green
An Indo-European platform for the Indian financial ecosystem to work towards India’s low-carbon and resilient transition.
The Green Indian Financial System Initiative
The Green Indian Financial System (GIFS) Initiative enhances the participation of the entire Indian financial ecosystem in the low-carbon and resillient transition & in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Agreement agenda.
As the greening of the financial system is increasingly recognized as a critical driver to achieve these objectives, the mission of the GIFS Initiative is to provide the tools, knowledge and network for the practitioners of the entire Indian financial sector to take decisive actions and prepare for the transition, and for the risks and opportunities arising from it.

How can actors can factor-in risks emerging from climate change and low-carbon transition? How harmonized disclosure and taxonomies can enable smooth climate financial flows? How to collect, manage and analyze data?
To provide some answers to these questions, the GIFS Initiative has covered topics ranging from from climate finance strategies, climate-related and transition risks, to taxonomy, disclosure and biodiversity over the course of 2022.
