WEB07 : Green and sustainable finance, opportunities and challenges NEW

2.00 CPE Hours (Others)
Live Webinar

Programme Outline

Green and sustainable financing has experienced rapid growth over recent years ever since the adoption of Paris Agreement net-zero targets globally. As countries worldwide intensify their efforts to combat climate change, green and sustainable finance has emerged as a viable pathway to mobilize green investments through alignment of climate objectives with traditional financing. The rapid expansion in demand for green and sustainable financing solutions has presented a host of opportunities to key stakeholders across the ecosystem including financial institutions, corporates, government bodies as well as finance leaders and professionals. At the same time, the green and sustainable finance landscape has also encountered several challenges such as greenwashing. On this front, innovative solutions offered by Green FinTechs have been a promising response towards addressing some of those challenges.

Join us as we explore growth opportunities and challenges in green and sustainable finance, while appreciating the rising relevance of Green FinTechs in this landscape.
