Excellent topic that you have taken-up for study. Do you want to study this only in the Malaysia context or globally. I may be able to share some Indian experience, once I have your reply.

It's a wonderful project. I wish you all the best.

You could look at blockchain-based energy services which is one of the fast growing areas, e.g. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8016254/

Climate change has been global issues and it is necessary to develop strategies to cope risk associated with climatic risk. Microfinance institution can protect farmers who borrow loan from them. We can see successful example of credit gurantee system in Nepal and India.

Hi!

Excellent results in the study of increasing climate instability and temperature inversion can be obtained by using wavelet analysis.

Best regards.

Hi,

Micro-finance institutions have been a big driver in adoption of clean energy technologies like solar, bio-gas and clean cook-stoves in many sub-Saharan countries. In Kenya, the pay as you go (PAYG) systems have been well integrated with micro-finance institutions to increase solar energy penetration. There are interesting cases you can readily find on this in the internet.

All the best.

Thank you everyone for your contributions. I truly appreciate it. However, I am looking for empirical studies, preferably quantitative research. I want to understand the nature of data in the first instance.

I am still digging into the issue and wishing to come out something interesting.

@Emmanuel Vijayanand Murray, I haven’t confirmed yet, but hopefully a cross-country analysis.

@Oleksii Pasichnyi, blockchain-based is a good one. I will further look into it.

@Geoffrey Ndegwa, true indeed that microfinance has a notable role in sustainable energy adaptation. I will further try to find relevant studies. Suggest me any empirical study in the context, if possible.

The issue of climate change is suffered more by people at the bottom of the pyramid(micro-enterprises). You need to know Where is your research location and what renewable technology is appropriate

Dear Nnaemeka Odionye,

Yes, I agree. That is why microfinance role to ease the adaptation strategy for the poor is crucial.

carbon credit initially attracted people and farmers to climate change mitigation. The great link is understanding climate smart agriculture for green capital development.

Dear Ayodele Otaiku,

Thank you for the suggested point.

Please check out the international banks (ADB; WB, EBRD) publications which are open to public and also suggest you to look at OECD paper policies. Addition to all, it is better to check out the firms website working on this issue. I am following these websites and their publications:

https://climatepolicyinitiative.org/climate-finance/

https://www.cdp.net/en/climate

https://newclimate.org/publications/

https://www.cicero.oslo.no/en/cicero-climate-finance

http://www.synapse-energy.com/

Personally, I really like the synapse energy publications because they are working multidisciplinary.

Depending on my expertise area and my experience; microfinance can support the energy and climate change adaptation by increasing efficiency in energy and optimizing theagriculture implementations. It seems to be so small comparing to large projects, however, small impacts and diversification can provide a better results than the larger ones. To examine in a detail, please also check out the projects opened in Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan etc.- EBRD or ADB website). Their outputs are usually provided as working papers or solely working reports. You clearly see and understand what kind of impact it has.

Kind regards,
