𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟬 emphasises collaborative partnerships and bold approaches to ensure climate finance reaches those who need it most. 💬 “NDF is rare in its insistence that climate finance reach the people who need it most and in its willingness to take real risk to solve our biggest problems, like first-time energy access for the millions living without electricity. We’re proud to partner with NDF and demonstrate that shared risk, shared learning and long-term commitment can make real impact in the hardest-to-reach communities”, says Jacqueline Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Acumen. “Real examples: NDF stepped into providing a grant to enable Hardest to Reach to provide impact-aligned loans. This allows both rigor and inclusion, a tension critically needed when serving under resourced communities,” she adds. 🌱💡 ➡️ Read more about Strategy 2030: https://shorturl.at/wLy3F #Partnerships #Collaboration #Innovation #Strategy2030 #ClimateFinance #RiskTaking

On Monday 19 January, the Nordic financial institutions had the pleasure of welcoming Finland’s Minister of Education and Nordic Cooperation, Anders Adlercreutz at our joint headquarters in Helsinki. Nordic Development Fund (NDF), Nordic Investment Bank and Nefco - the Nordic Green Bank are owned by Nordic countries, guided by shared Nordic values and the vision of making the Nordic region the most sustainable and integrated region in the world. Our discussions reflected on our activities and how we can together contribute to strong and close Nordic cooperation. We also exchanged views on NDF’s unique role in climate and development finance, and our ability to support Nordic priorities in the evolving development context. We sincerely thank Minister Adlercreutz for visiting us, for the open and constructive discussions, and for his interest in and support for our work. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together for the benefit of the Nordic region and beyond.
