About this session

 

The financial sector has been a leading contributor to the crises we face today, from climate change to land degradation to biodiversity loss, but it also has the potential to be an important part of the remedy. While many commitments have been made, such as net zero and zero deforestation pledges, more needs to happen to reach the sustainable finance tipping point. With finance thought leaders, we discuss what the next steps must be for the financial ecosystem to become a driver of sustainability.
