Category: Conference
This conference focuses on latest developments and the way forward for green finance in the UK, bringing together key stakeholders and policymakers.
It takes place in the context of ‘Greening Finance: Roadmap to Sustainable Investing’ from HM Treasury and the announcements made in conjunction with the COP26 conference.
Delegates will consider the practicalities, opportunities and challenges of environmental disclosures and standards – along with the priorities for regulation and the design of investment labels.
Further areas for discussion include:
- international – UK positioning in the global green finance landscape – opportunities for collaboration – the ambition to make the UK the world’s first net-zero financial centre
- regional – the role of a greener financial sector in economic regeneration and job creation – improving engagement and collaboration with local and devolved administrations
- political – implications for green finance of energy security concerns, and political scepticism in some quarters over the direction and pace of policy relating to net-zero ambitions
