🌍 #FundingWednesdays | The Land Bank of South Africa is seeking a service provider to develop a climate risk framework for its agricultural lending.
🌱 Why it matters: Droughts, floods and shifting markets threaten farmers' ability to repay loans, and with them the banks that lend to agriculture. This framework will help the Land Bank understand and manage both physical climate risks and the risks of the transition to a low-carbon economy across its agricultural portfolio.
💼 The assignment:
📊 Develop a climate risk framework aligned with international disclosure and scenario standards
🌦️ Assess physical climate risks across the bank's agricultural lending
🔄 Assess transition risks linked to the shift to a low-carbon economy
🏛️ Integrate the framework into the bank's enterprise risk management
📋 Strong fit if your firm has:
✅ Expertise in climate risk assessment and climate-related financial disclosure
✅ Experience with financial institutions or agricultural finance
✅ Policy development and consulting experience
💚 IMVELO Impact: When a bank that finances farmers starts measuring climate risk, it better shapes which farms get credit, on what terms, and how agriculture adapts. Getting this right protects both food security and the farmers who depend on lending to keep going.
📍 Location: Gauteng, South Africa
⏳ Duration: About 5 months
⏰ Deadline: 19 October 2026
