How are African banks coping with Climate ChangeFrancois Stepman
16 May 2023. This webinar discussed how climate-related risks threaten the functioning of banking institutions as well as the stability of the financial system.
Climate change and climate policy affect the balance sheets and business models of banks in different ways. African banks are vulnerable to the increasing frequency and severity of climate change shocks. They are also increasingly aware of the importance of adopting green financing principles, seeking to address risks and more importantly, to grasp new opportunities.
However, only 17% of banks have so far introduced specific green financing products, and these are estimated to account for only 2-20% of their portfolio . The webinar discussed how climate-related risks threaten the functioning of banking institutions as well as the stability of the financial system. The discussions also shed light on initiatives of banks to implement sustainable practices and central banks to create an enabling environment for sustainable finance drawing on international best practices.

AfDB Integrated Safeguards System - Policy Statement and Operational SafeguardsDr Lendy Spires
On December 17, 2013 the Boards of the African Development Bank unanimously adopted the Integrated Safeguards System (ISS) – a cornerstone of the Bank’s strategy to promote growth that is socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable. Safeguards are a powerful tool for identifying risks, reducing development costs and improving project sustainability, thus benefiting affected communities and helping to preserve the environment.
With this Integrated Safeguards System the Bank will be better equipped to address emerging environmental and social development challenges. The Integrated Safeguards System not only promotes best practices in these areas but also encourages greater transparency and accountability. It upholds the voices of people who are affected by Bank-funded operations, especially the most vulnerable communities, by providing, for example, project-level grievance and redress mechanisms – a structured, systematic and managed way of allowing the voices and concerns of affected people to be heard and addressed during project planning and implementation.
The AfDB, in accordance with its mandate views economic and social rights as an integral part of human rights, and accordingly affirms that it respects the principles and values of human rights as set out in the UN Charter and the African Charter of Human and Peoples’ Rights. These were among the principles that guided the development of the Integrated Safeguards System. The AfDB encourages member countries to observe international human rights norms, standards, and best practices on the basis of their commitments made under the International Human Rights Covenants and the African Charter of Human and Peoples’ Rights.
The Integrated Safeguards System has been developed through extensive consultations. In particular, five regional workshops – in Nairobi, Lusaka, Libreville, Abuja and Rabat – provided the Bank with an opportunity to listen to and address concerns raised by our stakeholders and civil society.
All of this has contributed to what we believe is an unusually strong and well-considered policy package for the Bank – one that is built on broad experience – embodies today’s cutting-edge thinking, and will serve the Bank and Africa for many years to come.
It puts the Bank in the forefront of multilateral development banks, with a clear, integrated package of policies and procedures to address the safeguards issues that arise in development. We believe the Integrated Safeguards System will strengthen the Bank’s ability to carry out its mandate and will help increase the effectiveness and development impact of our operations.
But more than that, the Integrated Safeguards System will be one of the strongest tools we have for helping to promote the well-being of our true clients, Africa’s people.

This presentation was given at the COP22 on Climate Change, on 8 November 2016. The paper is the result of a study commissioned by the African Development Bank.
The World Bank Group has recently published Part One of a ‘Tourism Concessioning Toolkit in Protected Areas’, authored by Anna Spenceley, Hermione Nevill, Carla Faustiano Coelho and Michelle Souto.
The work was led by the World Bank Group's Tourism and Competitiveness Global Practice, and the International Finance Corporation's Public-Private Partnership Transaction Advisory Department (C3P), drawing from experience in Mozambique, South Africa, and other parts of the world. This document sets out the stage and core principles to be taken into consideration when designing concessioning programs.
Overview:
Governments and Protected Areas Authorities are under increasing pressure to preserve the beauty and biodiversity of their beaches, parks, and pristine natural sites, while also growing tourism activity.
Tourism concessioning is one solution. Delivering successful tourism concessioning programs, however, is challenging and depends on the right mix of characteristics, technical expertise, and institutional experience.
The World Bank Group presents 14 key characteristics displayed in most successful tourism concessioning programs.

We operated normally until the 12th of March. After that
nothing else happened. No tours, no booking for the future and
only cancelation of everything schedule onwards.
South Africa
The cancellations change daily as we continue to be shutdown
by our government. Reservations that are on the book today
and holding out in the hope that borders/flights/tourist
attractions will open, may cancel tomorrow once it becomes
clear to the guest that the risk is too high to keep the booking in
place.
Zimbabwe
We have had 100% booking cancellations from March to June
2020.We have lost revenue of about +/-USD500k We have paid
for our national parks annual concession fees , quotas and

Mozambique
If this continues we will be unable to make any donations or

critical products/services.
South Africa
If our guests do not travel then the reserve collects no
conservation levies - these levies go directly to the reserve for
anti-poaching efforts. Coupled with the massive loss of income
to the local community, we are facing a huge probability that
poaching will increase 10 fold
Zimbabwe
We have temporarily closed the camp so will not be purchasing
supplies for the camp's visitors until it re-opens which is yet to
be determined. likely upwards of 90% decline in turnover and
payments made to various service providers ie food &

Angola Angola in state of emergency with all borders closed to international

Botswana Covid19 outbreaks globally totally change the tourism sector:
prospects for the rest of 2020 are zero income. Hunger, deeper
poverty, lawlessness, increased poaching are realities.
Namibia We have zero income for March, April, May, June and cancellations are
starting to take place from July as well.
Zambia Our main season is May to November. We foresee that no clients will
be able to visit us in the 2020 season

Botswana All staff members are on reduced salaries (40 to 60%) All staff

Staff members are working 25%
Namibia We try our utmost to protect our employees jobs and their take home
pay. Most of our employees are from rural Namibia and the people
need the salaries for survival. We also try to keep our contributions to
our communities and Conservancies intact.
Zambia Our local employees and their families are dependent on their wages.
We will do everything to keep all employees. We foresee a huge
increase in illegal poaching and therefore require the anti-poaching
rangers to protect our area.
Zimbabwe We are currently holding all staff on 50% time for 50% salary.
However, we cannot continue to pay 50% for longer than 3 months.
After that we will need to make more drastic decisions. Zimbabwe
does not have resources to allocate to benefits for staff who are not
employed.

Angola -
Botswana 80% of food and drinks in Botswana are imported there is however a
increasing number of local producers supplying fresh vegetables . With
the onset of Covid and no income we will reduce our spending by
100% .
Namibia Without income and our lodges on lockdown, there will be zero
expenditure for ANY hospitality services except for own sustainability
which must come out of bank loans.
Zambia The impact on local payments and suppliers is huge and perhaps not
entirely quantifiable, especially in a place like Livingstone, Zambia,
which is a major tourist hub due to this being the location of the
famous Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe We run a volunteer programme to help local schools, whereby tourists
pay to help out in schools, building classrooms, play areas and self
sustaining vegetable programmes, plus anti poaching projects such as
snare sweeps and also planting of indigenous trees. This will not
happen in 2020

Country Comment
Angola Angola has suffered a “double whammy”, insofar as it ha what is
effectively a mono economy with oil. The price if which has crashed....
The informal economy has so far been allowed to continue at a limited
level. Complete lock down in countries such as Angola cannot happen
as many people have to work today to eat today.....
Botswana The tourism sector in Africa has to show a unified front in declaring a
universal policy of deferment rather than cancellation of existing
safaris.
Namibia The impact of tourism in rural Namibia is huge in terms of communities
but also in terms of conservation and a collapse of tourism will have
dire consequences
Zambia The situation for Zambian tourism is catastrophic. Without some form
of intervention there will be no tourism companies left by 2021.
Zimbabwe We need to ensure that there is support for all sectors in the
conservation and tourism areas to ensure they are able to restart when
things return to normal.
