Covid-19 has significantly amplified calls to rebuild the global economy in a more equitable and greener way. How far can the financial sector rise to this challenge and show leadership for sustainability, even as politics, governments, commerce and industry grapple with the immediate risks and economic consequences of the pandemic?
This latest webinar in the Salzburg Global Finance Forum online series assessed recent progress by financial regulators, supervisors, institutional investors and other stakeholders towards meeting the goals set for UNFCCC COP26. Senior policy-makers, industry representatives and participants explored ways to harness sustainability and climate finance for more resilient and inclusive economies despite the ongoing pandemic.
This interactive 1h15 webinar featured a moderated panel of experts from different perspectives and provided opportunities for participants to pose questions in advance or via the chat function.
The webinar was open to all Salzburg Global Fellows and to anyone interested in the topic. Discussions were held under the Chatham House Rule so comments were not be attributed without the express permission of the speaker.
