Climate change and sustainability

climate

Climate Change and Sustainability (CCS) at MSC helps governments, financial institutions, development partners, and enterprises translate climate ambition into action. We build investable pipelines, strengthen policy and institutional readiness, develop climate risk and MRV systems, and support strategic implementation that enables resilient, inclusive, and scalable outcomes.

Our work sits at the intersection of inclusive climate finance, market deployment, and policy, strategy, and institutional strengthening. Across Asia and Africa, we partner with public and private sector actors to design and operationalize enabling policies and advance decarbonization and adaptation pathways. We deliver evidence-driven solutions, from climate finance frameworks and carbon markets to digital MRV systems and regenerative, circular, and low-carbon models.

The solutions we build promote resilience and stem from our years of expertise in state capacity, digital inclusion, financial services, catalytic finance, startup incubation, agriculture, and low-carbon transitions. Our work spans capacity building, risk and assurance, digital technologies, and institutional development.

MSC works with a diverse set of clients, including governments, UN agencies, multilateral development banks (MDBs), development finance institutions (DFIs), foundations, financial institutions, project developers, regulators, corporates, banks, investors, carbon market actors, bilateral agencies, and MSMEs.

We serve as co-chairs of vital working groups within the CIFAR Alliance and manage the Climate Resilient Agriculture – Virtual Club (CRAgVC). As a member of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), we actively contribute to advancing climate technology solutions globally.
