Recently, Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, Egypt’s UN Climate Change High-Level Champion, attended a meeting of the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) in New York, where he emphasized the crucial role of the banking sector in advancing the green economic transition. “Banks not only need to fulfill their net-zero commitments but should also actively engage customers in emissions reduction efforts through investments in climate-related projects,” he stated. The meeting, attended by representatives from the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), explored how banks can integrate climate action into their financial activities to create a broader impact on the global economy and environment.

Strengthening Financial Support for Energy Transition and Climate Resilience

Dr. Mohieldin highlighted the critical importance of green finance for developing countries, especially as they face escalating climate risks. He called on the international community to increase financial flows to support energy transitions and biodiversity conservation in these regions. “The quality and efficiency of funding are just as essential as the overall investment; simply scaling up financing alone is not enough to protect the most vulnerable communities,” he remarked. He also noted that five recent regional roundtables have identified numerous climate and development projects that banks are well-positioned to support, demonstrating the banking sector’s significant potential in financing and implementing climate solutions.

Dr. Mohieldin further emphasized that banks should play a leading role in funding energy transition activities and directing more resources toward addressing climate-related risks. He pointed out that developing countries require efficient, high-quality financing from banks to safeguard natural capital and biodiversity. “Mobilizing funds is important, but so is ensuring that these funds are effectively used to protect vulnerable communities,” he added.

Digitalization and Climate Action in the Arab World

During the “Digital for Sustainable Development” event hosted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Dr. Mohieldin explored the potential of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in achieving climate goals across the Arab region. He highlighted how digitalization can facilitate climate adaptation by providing more advanced early warning systems and reducing emissions through clean energy transitions. “The Arab region has tremendous opportunities to leverage digitalization and AI to support climate adaptation,” he said, adding that public and private sector financing, as well as supportive policies, are essential.

Dr. Mohieldin introduced Egypt’s “National Initiative for Smart Green Projects” (NISGP), which aims to drive digital transformation and encourage the application of technology in environmental and climate initiatives. “This initiative combines digital solutions with environmental goals, offering smarter and more efficient ways to address climate change risks,” he explained. He expressed that NISGP could serve as a model for other countries in the region, showcasing how digital technologies can support sustainable development and climate adaptation.

Dr. Mohieldin’s insights underscore the need for banks and digital technologies to work together in driving a global green transition, ultimately building a smarter and more resilient future.
