Silvia Baur-Yazbeck works on the CGAP team that focuses on the role of financial services in supporting climate resilience and adaptation, which aims to understand how vulnerable people manage climate related risks, how financial services support their adaptation and resilience strategies, and what actions financial sector stakeholders can take to make financial inclusion a more effective enabler of climate adaptation and resilience. In addition, it aims to ensure that global progress on financial inclusion does not recede as climate change impacts increase the risk and cost of serving people living in poverty. Currently, Silvia leads CGAP’s effort to identify effective approaches for funders and governments to leverage inclusive finance as a means to achieve climate adaptation and resilience goals and mobilize the private sector in delivering climate-responsive financial services to vulnerable populations.
