The 4th Climate Finance Day and the UN Environment Finance Initiative’s biennial Global Roundtable will take place on November 26 - 28, 2018, in Paris, France. UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Finance for Tomorrow, an initiative of Paris EUROPLACE, are joining forces to stage three days of action on sustainable finance in the city where decisive action on climate change was finally taken in 2015. Finance for Tomorrow and UNEP FI are co-organizing their two flagship events which together will be the major global rendez-vous in 2018 dedicated to mobilizing the financial sector to deliver a sustainable financial system.
The 4th edition of Climate Finance Day will build on the steady and growing financial sector mobilization worldwide and on the political momentum following the Paris Agreement and the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance. The event is the waypoint to take stock of private and public actors’ commitments and major achievements on green and climate finance issues. This year, it will focus on the progress made towards the greening of the global financial system as well as climate action in financial institutions, central banks and supervisors. The event will also highlight the next steps for climate finance development, by showcasing the development and outreach of innovative products, asset classes, and business lines in private equity and green loans.
