Description
This interactive event brings together stakeholders across the green sector, to discuss the economic and financial climate progress made so far, and to deliberate on how we can best bring about a transformational change in a short amount of time, to realise a sustainable and green future.
According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), fully implementing the Paris Agreement and meeting this climate ambition will require US$ 1.5 trillion in green financing annually until 2030. The European Parliament Think Tank states that the dramatic consequences of climate change and environmental degradation have brought the need for a more sustainable economy to the top of the agenda. Green finance deals with investment in all forms of financial sectors integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria within financial decisions. Despite its environmental and economic advantages, green finance remains a misunderstood concept for many businesses. One of the main challenges is a lack of understanding of how to cost-effectively internalize environmental externalities; these can be advantageous for third parties and negative when polluting investments inflict harm. The event talks about the current trends, challenges, and opportunities for green and sustainable finance. There are practitioner-led plenary sessions exploring the policies and actions focusing on the EU Taxonomy and multi-stakeholderism with an industrial perspective, that are required to accelerate the global green transition. The sessions will cover a wide range of pressing green finance issues, including: the emergence of green finance; the evolution of ESG investing; and the integration of biodiversity-related financial risks into decision-making. The event will conclude with breakout rooms to continue the conversation about green finance discussing the business and financial sector climate commitments and their alignment with climate policy goals.
