As the world shifts to greener, more sustainable economic systems and infrastructures, it is crucial that emerging market financial sectors transition to sustainable finance practices. They need to be supported by developed economies who have built their wealth on carbon-intensive structures. In collaboration with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s World Investment Forum, OMFIF is convening a panel discussion on how emerging markets can leverage finance and develop policies to drive climate action while continuing to grow their economies.

Panellists:

Timings:
10:00-11:00 (London)
05:00-06:00 (New York)
17:00-18:00 (Singapore)

This discussion is on the record.

This virtual discussion is part of the OMFIF Sustainable Policy Institute. The SPI is a high level community which brings together central banks, sovereign funds, public pension funds, and their counterparts in asset management, banking and professional services to explore policy, regulatory and investment challenges posed by environmental, social and governance themes.
