How to help combat #ClimateChange from the #real estate sector? The incorporation of #ecotechnologies in housing construction is one of the great challenges of the sector. In some countries, such as Mexico and Colombia, the concept of #GreenMortgage works, in which these investments are incorporated and prorated throughout their repayment so that the savings in consumption offset the extra cost in the payment of the dividend.

What is happening in Chile? There are a series of gaps for its development, said Rodrigo Valenzuela, Deputy Manager of Green Climate Fund (GFC) Project Development at FYNSA, in a virtual seminar organized by the Green Building Council Chile on this subject. Among the gaps, "there is a lack of knowledge of available technologies, a lack of trained technical service due to centralization and a need for demonstration cases", he pointed out.
On the opportunities side, "incentives could be generated to improve financing conditions for demand with green mortgage-type schemes, as well as incentives for supply through new sources of financing for developers such as the Green Climate Fund".

#FYNSA is an accredited agency of the #GreenClimateFund, a fund that finances climate change mitigation and adaptation projects.
