Green Horizon Summit: The Pivotal Role of Finance
Cologny, Switzerland
It’s time to reset the relationship between finance and the real economy. It’s time for public and private finance to get behind the transition to a sustainable and resilient future for all.
The City of London Corporation, in collaboration with the Green Finance Institute, and supported by the World Economic Forum, is hosting a virtual summit in November that will focus on the role of green finance in the recovery from COVID-19.
The green transition is both an urgent existential imperative, as well as a significant commercial opportunity. Capturing this opportunity will drive job creation and speed the return to growth. But for now, there is a persistent financing gap between net zero ambitions and reality. The Green Horizon Summit is our moment to close this gap. Our objective is to mobilise capital by converting momentum into action ahead of COP26.
The Summit will cover five major themes:
• Reporting, Risk Management and Return
• Financing the Energy Transition
• Infrastructure and Green Growth
• Financing Resilience and Adaptation
• Nature and Net Zero
The Summit will conclude with a focus on the concrete actions and commitments financial firms need to make ahead of COP26 in Glasgow.
