SUMMARY:Climate Bonds Connect 2022 - Global Conference London
DESCRIPTION:Global Conference – 20 October 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the 7th year running\, our Climate Bonds annual conference\, now part of the Climate Bonds CONNECT event series\, continues to frame the global discourse and agenda on climate finance.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs climate impacts batter communities on all continents\, scientists agree we are facing a climate emergency and the window of opportunity to align our economies to a safer 1.5-degree pathway is closing fast. With so much volatility – where concerns about our planet’s future and its climate intersect with petrostate wars; food shortages; health pandemics; species extinction; cost of living increases and more\, we have to find solutions fast. It will not be easy\, but there is hope.  The majority of the world’s institutional investors are aware of the risk such volatility poses to their portfolios if action is not taken. They have a mandate to ensure risk is mitigated over the long term – and they want to act.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnder the theme ‘Mobilising $5trillion of Climate Bonds per year by 2025\, this year’s Climate Bonds Global Conference will include discussion sessions with opportunity and solutions-driven conversations teasing out the most relevant topics that bridge science\, policy and finance. Top speakers\, thought leaders\, decision-makers and influencers will discuss the challenges and current trends that shape the future of green finance in emerging and developed markets\, including topics on taxonomies\, policy guidance and transition pathways. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimate Bonds Connect 2022: Combining the power of in-person and with the reach of online participation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Global Conference benefits from a hybrid (online and in-person invitation only) format\, allowing for a wider global audience to be connected to the discussions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will gather investors; asset owners; governments; banks; issuers; regulators among others and provide ample opportunity for networking and building connections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ClimateBonds\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
