Date: Oct 26, 2022
Time: 00:00 to 01:00 (KST/GMT+9)
Overview:
The financial sector offers a largely unexploited potential to promote climate change mitigation and adaptation by directing investments towards low carbon resilience projects and initiatives.
The session will provide an interactive space for representatives from commercial banks, national development banks, multilateral development banks and regulators to discuss, share ideas and plans about the role of sustainable banking in the financing of the region’s green, resilience and inclusive economic development.
The session will engage in an active exchange of comments and ideas on:
- sustainable banking standards;
