The Renewables Academy AG (RENAC)’s project Green Banking -
Capacity Building on Green Energy and Climate Finance has been
awarded the Innovationspreis für Klima und Umwelt (IKU) by the
German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation,
Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and the Federation of German
Industries (BDI). The IKU Award honors innovative ideas that
protect the climate and the environment while making important
contributions to improve the living conditions in different
areas.
Green Banking is a three-year scholarship programme that
provides capacity building on renewable energy and energy
efficiency finance in India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and
Vietnam. Professionals from private and public institutions
involved or interested in financing green energy projects gain
specific knowledge in technologies, financial schemes, risk
evaluation, mitigation measures and access to international Climate
Funds. Green Banking is implemented by RENAC within the German
International Climate Initiative (IKI) with the support of the
BMUB.
The call for applications to participate in the upcoming Green
Banking activities in 2018 is open until 31st March 2018. These
include a Delegation Tour with Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings
in Germany, a Train-the-Trainer seminar at RENAC’s Training Centre
in Berlin, as well as the Green Finance Specialist (GFS) programme.
GFS delivers in-depth knowledge on green finance topics through a
combination of a 20-week online training and a 3-day face-to-face
training. The programme achieved accreditation by the renowned
Finance Accreditation Agency in December 2017.
The IKU jury is composed by 13 high-profile actors coming from
the industry, media, political organisations and research
institutions. Their final decision has been based on the profound
scientific analysis of the applications conducted by the Fraunhofer
Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI. Some
organisations the jury works for include the Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research, ZDF, Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy
and Immunology and the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland,
among others.
RENAC, based in Berlin, Germany, is a leading international
provider for training and capacity building in renewable energy and
energy efficiency.
