5th OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment

On 13-14 November 2018, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Centre on Green Finance and Investment is hosting the 5th OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment in Paris, France.

Investment in the green economy needs to take place on a far greater scale over the coming decades if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the ambition of the Paris Agreement. In 2016, the OECD took a major step to support these objectives by establishing a Centre on Green Finance and Investment. The Centre’s mission is to help catalyse and support the transition to a green, low-emission and climateresilient economy through the development of effective policies, institutions and instruments for green finance and investment. Leveraging the OECD’s expertise and policy communities, the Centre provides a global platform for engaging with key players and harnessing the market intelligence of private sector partners. To support the rapid scale-up of green investment and financing flows on a scale commensurate with the challenge, the Centre:

• enables knowledge exchange among leaders from the private sector, government, regulatory institutions, academia and civil society;
• develops rigorous, innovative and compelling analysis and practical recommendations;
• organises high-impact events;
• engages effectively in the wider policy debates and arenas.

The Centre's annual Forum on Green Finance and Investment convenes leading actors across the green finance community to help catalyse and support the transition to a green, low-emissions and climate-resilient global economy.
