Through the project, EBRD will develop a nexus financing mechanism that would target the private sector, especially Micro-, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs), including women-led agribusinesses.  Small businesses tend to be particularly vulnerable to climate risks in the Central Asian region and were often hit hard by the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these actors already understand that they are exposed to the risks of climate change but are often not familiar with the technical and financial solutions available to them, nor with the economic benefits of the solutions. Efforts made to enhance the evidence base on the nexus approach through this activity, therefore, aim to provide the private sector with better information on investment opportunities for cross-sectoral and cost-effective energy, water, and land resource management.
