This paper investigates the impact of integrating climate change interventions in informal community‐based institutions called savings groups. By integrating climate‐related activities into these groups, the aim is to simultaneously strengthen the group's financial activities as well as improve knowledge and investment capacity in climate adaptation. We find that the introduction of the training increases meeting attendance rate and average loan sizes, suggesting that members can access larger sums for investment to implement the knowledge acquired during the training. We provide evidence that there are opportunities for economies of scope and for a larger positive impact on the livelihoods of the populations at the bottom of the pyramid by combining financial services offered in the savings groups and climate‐related interventions.

气候变化培训干预对储蓄群体的影响

本文研究了将气候变化干预措施纳入称为储蓄团体的非正式社区机构的影响。通过将气候相关活动纳入这些集团，目的是同时加强集团的金融活动，并提高气候适应方面的知识和投资能力。我们发现，培训的引入提高了会议出席率和平均贷款规模，这表明会员可以获得更大的投资金额来实施培训期间获得的知识。我们提供的证据表明，通过将储蓄团体提供的金融服务与气候相关干预措施相结合，可以实现范围经济，并对金字塔底层人口的生计产生更大的积极影响。
