Gateway Guide to Green Microfinance

Green Microfinance is the application of microfinance to promote not only financial inclusion and social empowerment, but also environmental sustainability.

Green microfinance attempts to incorporate a third bottom line while maintaining positive financial and social performance.

In this Gateway Guide we’ll take a look at recent literature examining how to make green microfinance work for people, profits, and the planet.
