Day 2 will focus in finance, innovation and policy for the low carbon transition, and include session on, inter alia: financing the low carbon economy; risk disclosure; achieving climate goals with the right carbon pricing mechanisms; innovation, collaboration and leadership for business in a post-Paris world; the role and responsibility of creative industries on climate action; and climate and trade.
