The financing of global climate targets plays a key role in the implementation of the Paris Agreement and will also be the focus of this year's UN Climate Summit (COP29) in Baku. Against this backdrop, we are delighted to invite you to the “Sustainable Finance Forum: Financing Transition - Practical Solutions for Climate and the SDGs”.
At this international conference, decision makers and practitioners from the world of finance, sustainability and public policy will discuss the financing of the transition to a sustainable economy.
The forum is a joint initiative of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE), the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, the European Commission, DZ BANK and ICC Germany and will take place at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce following and in cooperation with the Hamburg Sustainability Conference (HSC).
