SPI symposium 2023
The inaugural Sustainable Policy Institute symposium in 2021 brought together central bank governors and speakers from 12 central banks, the Bank for International Settlements, World Bank, United Nations, European Investment Bank and others. Attended by 1,000+ experts from across the financial sector, the events panels, keynotes and roundtables tackled the challenges of directing investment towards greener financial markets. On 22-23 March 2023, the symposium will return to delve into the role of monetary policy, climate risk, regulation and disclosure, addressing practical challenges in driving sustainable financial markets to achieve net zero.
This hybrid event will be held in London, convening a global network of key policy-makers, regulators, public and private sector investors and ESG experts. The symposium will include open, public sessions attended by sustainable finance experts from across our network, and off-record high-level roundtables. The agenda will enable participants to make their voices heard on important issues at this critical time and move the industry beyond words into action.
