The Virtual Conference on Low-Carbon Finance and the Sustainable Development Goals will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to explore the role of low-carbon finance and investment in promoting climate-related SDGs, and assess challenges to low-carbon finance growth and policies for addressing them.
The Conference will feature research that examines impediments to low-carbon finance such as the lack of unified criteria for investment that advances climate-related SDGs and limited understanding of the fundamentals of low-carbon finance. It will also address common questions about low-carbon finance, including the difference between green and traditional bonds, the extent to which green bond issuance reduces emissions, and policies needed to encourage investment that promotes climate-related SDGs.
It is organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Institute.
