• The newsletter aims to boost awareness and understanding of sustainability’s importance and its evolving activities.
• It highlights key international publications on sustainability and carbon markets (press, news, research).

As a significant move to promote sustainable finance, the Regional Center for Sustainable Finance (RCSF), FRA’s sustainable development arm has introduced its first periodic newsletter, “Sustainability Around the World,” with the goal of disseminating awareness and knowledge about diverse fields of sustainability and the voluntary carbon markets.

Each month, the newsletter will offer a selection of the most important articles and reports on sustainability and voluntary carbon markets from leading international press, news websites and research institutions. Readers will benefit from Arabic translations and direct links to the original sources.

By launching this newsletter, the Regional Center for Sustainable Finance (RCSF) further establishes its role in disseminating crucial awareness and financial literacy across all economic sectors, including the non-bank financial sector. This initiative aims to keep these sectors informed about the latest global updates and trends, thereby supporting the Financial Regulatory Authority’s (FRA) strategic objective of increasing financial literacy and achieving higher levels of financial, insurance and investment inclusion.

The Regional Center for Sustainable Finance (RCSF) stands as the first of its kind in the Middle East and Africa, dedicated to raise awareness and knowledge of sustainable finance, foster a green economy culture within the non-bank financial sector, advance climate action for environmental preservation and promote responsible investment practices within the sector. Operating under the Financial Services Institute (FSI), FRA’s training arm, the RCSF aims to provide technical support and guidance to all stakeholders in achieving sustainable development goals. It also seeks to enhance training and awareness in sustainable finance through awareness campaigns, capacity-building initiatives and training programs across Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa. Furthermore, the RCSF aims to introduce environmentally friendly non-bank financial instruments and integrate responsible investment policies into the strategies of the non-bank financial sector.

This initiative builds upon Financial Regulatory Authority’s (FRA) ongoing efforts to integrate sustainable development goals and strengthen climate action within the non-bank financial sector. It supports the Egyptian government’s drive to achieve the objectives of Egypt’s Vision 2030, aligning with national priorities and sustainable development goals.
