Working to establish a commercial bank with a clear climate focus
QP Climate is developing a proposed commercial bank with a strategic focus on climate-aligned industries, businesses and customers. Our ambition is to bring sustainable finance into the mainstream of Nigerian banking.
The proposed institution is at the development and pre-application stage and is not yet licensed to conduct banking business.
The opportunity
Nigeria’s climate ambition requires a stronger financing architecture
Public and development finance will remain important, but Nigeria also needs private capital, commercially credible project pipelines and banking products designed around the realities of climate-aligned customers.
