Banking, and finance in general, can play a vital role in the fight for a more sustainable, greener planet. Progress in the climate bond market can contribute significantly to accelerate climate action.
It is strikingly clear that climate change and climate policies will affect all economic actors in our short- to medium-term future. Climate change will directly impact both states and companies. Therefore, climate mitigation policies and support for the ecological and energy transition are more necessary than ever before.
Climate finance projects can become the backbone of these efforts. Initiatives like the Climate Change Investment Framework launched in cooperation between Amundi and the AIIB, or the recent first blue bond issued by the Bank of China in Asia (supporting the Blue Economy).
The European Chamber is pleased to welcome representatives from Amundi, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Bank of China, European Investment Bank (EIB), and Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) to dive deep into the role finance has into creating a greener future. Book your seat, join us 27th November at 4:00pm in SEB Shanghai's office or online via zoom.
