• Assessing climate-related risks in investment and lending portfolios, focusing on suitable tools, instruments and methods to gauge transition and physical risks stemming from climate change,
• Showcasing best practices in sustainable finance by the investment and banking sector, highlighting innovate green financial instruments, client engagement, forward looking business development, disclosure of climate-relevant information, and,
• Promoting sustainable finance beyond European borders, presenting latest initiatives by key financial actors including central banks, international financing institutions, development banks and asset managers with global reach.
