High-Level Plenary: Sustainable finance, climate and the SDGs: opportunities for impact
As governments and financial market participants increasingly seek to align financing with the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate-related objectives, this high-level plenary session will discuss opportunities to scale up private financing and highlight gaps in approaches used by a range of participants. It will focus on the extent to which common ground may be found, building on the lessons learnt from existing ESG frameworks to discuss how developing and emerging economies can use ESG and SDG aligned frameworks to attract financing in support of sustainability and climate-related goals. The session will also set out imperatives for the public and private sector to make tangible progress to scale up private financing for the SDGs and to meet the Paris Climate Agreement.
