On 13-14 October 2020 at 12:00 (CEST), the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is hosting a Virtual Global Roundtable 2020 in collaboration with Responsible Investor.
UNEP FI’s biennial Global Roundtable (GRT) is a major global agenda-setting event on sustainable finance. Held under the theme of “Financing a Resilient Future”, the GRT will bring together decision-makers, experts and thought leaders on a virtual event platform, and help shape approaches to integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and accelerating sustainable banking, insurance and investment.
The event in 2020 will convene over 4000 finance professionals and highlight the development of financial products with positive impacts, explore emerging approaches to financing the Sustainable Development Goals, provide invaluable insight into alignment with the Paris Agreement, innovation, emerging guidance and good practice, and identify trends and issues on the horizon at a global level to explore the finance sectors’ responses to science, policy and business developments in areas such as climate change, biodiversity, circularity and ocean health.
