The UN organizes the global Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Global Dialogue every two years as a platform for discussing ways to achieve sustainable capital markets. This half-day event will build on the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the outcomes of the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the work of the G20 Green Finance Study Group. Representatives of stock exchanges will discuss ways to contribute to implementation of the SDGs, for example through promoting transparency and encouraging green finance products, such as low-carbon indices and green bonds. The event is held in conjunction with a meeting of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a UN-supported initiative.
