Blueprint for Change: Envisioning and Shaping the Future of Sustainable Finance
Conference: Sustainable Finance Summit
Hosted by: Finance Montreal
Format: Plenary session
Description
The realm of sustainable finance has transcended its niche status, gaining widespread acceptance among global financial players striving to align capital flows with the imperative transition to a sustainable and inclusive future. Despite most financial flows now gravitating towards sustainable finance, the playing field still needs definition, agreement, and delineation to ensure global coordination and coherence, while guarding against greenwashing. This prompts critical questions: What is the present state of sustainable finance, and how do recent frameworks contribute to advancing global coordination in ESG reporting? How are current and upcoming regulations impacting the industry? What measures are yet to be taken to solidify the foundation of a robust sustainable finance industry?
