MFC and AMFA recognize Partner as a Climate Adaptation Leader at COP30 in Brazil

At COP30 − the world’s most influential climate change conference held in Belém, Brazil − Microfinance Centre (MFC) and the Azerbaijan Micro-Finance Association (AMFA) highlighted Partner (Bosnia & Herzegovina) as one of the leading microfinance institutions driving climate adaptation and energy-transition solutions.

During our workshop “Microfinance for Climate Adaptation, Mitigation and Resilience: From Pilots to Scale,” we showcased Partner’s pioneering work in tackling energy poverty as a best-practice model for affordable, client-centered climate finance.

What makes Partner stand out? Its innovative loan products support:

Thermal insulation
Efficient windows and doors
Biomass heating
Other clean-energy upgrades

These solutions deliver measurable household-level energy savings while remaining accessible and affordable to vulnerable clients.

Partner’s integrated approach combines:

Affordable financing
Targeted grants for vulnerable households
Extended repayment terms
Technical assistance − ensuring clients make informed choices and benefit from verified energy savings

These achievements position Partner as a global reference point for MFIs seeking to scale inclusive climate-resilience lending for vulnerable households, businesses, and communities.

Global climate fund leaders, regulators and practitioners at COP30 workshop emphasized that Partner’s model demonstrates how microfinance institutions can channel climate finance to communities often overlooked by traditional funding mechanisms.
