Climate Leadership and Integration in Finance Academy - Call for Expressions of Interest 23 October 2026 The Climate Leadership and Integration in Finance (CLIF) Academy is inviting banks and nonbank financial companies (NBFCs) in India to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for its inaugural cohort. Delivered by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in partnership with CFA Institute, the Academy will help financial institutions strengthen climate risk management and explore how to integrate climate considerations into business strategy, financial decision-making, and emerging climate-related opportunities. The Academy will bring together senior representatives from four key functions—climate/sustainability, risk, treasury, and banking/origination—to foster cross-functional learning and support the transition from climate risk management to climate business transformation. Following strong interest from financial institutions across India, ADB has extended the deadline for submitting EOIs for the CLIF Academy to 23 October 2026. The extension provides interested banks and NBFCs additional time to complete their EOIs and nominate four senior representatives from climate/sustainability, risk, treasury, and banking/origination.
