Transition finance Europe
The Sustainable Policy Institute’s annual summit returns, this year, centred around the key themes in transition finance and scaling the capital need to drive decarbonisation. According to the International Energy Agency’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario, the transition will require an additional $126tn from now until 2050 Transition finance is the answer to unlocking the funds needed to support high-emitting industries in achieving net-zero objectives. Asset owners are a key link in transition finance discussions and the event will bring together high-level speakers from the asset owner community to facilitate low-carbon transition by leveraging capital. The summit will convene over 100 delegates from the financial sector in on-and-record discussions to look at long-term climate risks, opportunities and growth areas as the industry transitions to a new sustainable age.
