Description
Within the scope of the project Sustainable Finance in Brazil (FiBraS), the Training Programme for the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) delivered a comprehensive and structured learning agenda aimed at strengthening regulatory and supervisory competencies related to climate-related, environmental and social sustainability aspects, based on BCB staff needs. The programme, which included eight training sessions, reached over 60 technical and managing staff members, equipping them with up-to-date knowledge and practical tools to integrate climate-related and environmental aspects into regulatory and supervisory processes.
