Sustainable Finance in emerging and developing economies

Two years after the launch of the International Platform on Sustainable Finance (IPSF), European development finance institutions, the EIB and the EBRD are taking stock of efforts on the global level to scale up the mobilisation of private capital towards green investments in emerging and developing economies.

The event focused on the implementation of the EU’s Sustainable Finance strategy, its challenges and opportunities and the role of European finance institutions in promoting EU standards for sustainable finance and delivering a sustainable finance ecosystem at global level.

The webinar targeted private investors, governments, regulators, experts in sustainable finance and financing of emerging and developing economies.
