Overview
Capacity building and training have been part of the NGFS core activities since its establishment in 2017, with the aim to foster a forum for knowledge-sharing and good practices, and to provide central banks and supervisory authorities with the necessary tools to take concrete actions for addressing climate and nature-related risks.
Through its transversal and coordinating structure, the Expert Network seeks to map, match and improve the effectiveness of NGFS expertise, by bringing together training experts from across the membership to share know-how and knowledge, develop a structure for peer-to-peer learning, and create a platform for exchange on capacity building best practices and approaches. The Expert Network provides collaborative support in the design and implementation of capacity building initiatives across the NGFS Working Groups and Regional Groups.
Given the NGFS’ diverse membership, the Expert Network seeks to promote the systematic inclusion of an emerging market and developing economy dimension in NGFS productions, to support the practical implementation in a broad range of countries.
Current capacity building and training activities build on the foundational tools (such as the NGFS Sustainability Training Reference Guide) developed by a dedicated Task Force in 2022-2024, co-chaired by Madelena Mohamed (Bank Negara Malaysia) and Jeffery Yong (Bank for International Settlements).
All capacity building and training material produced by the NGFS and its learning partners is available to its Members and Observers on the Climate Training Alliance Portal and the dedicated NGFS resource page.
