Session description
Sustainable finance practices face significant challenges in maintaining transparency, accountability, and effectiveness. To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, it is essential to mobilize adequate capital for decarbonization efforts in developing countries. Global sustainable finance
initiatives are crucial in supporting renewable energy projects, enhancing sustainable food production, and fostering technological innovation. However, the primary challenge lies in directing capital to where it is most urgently needed. Central discussions focus on identifying conditions that enable sustainable finance to have the greatest impact. How can these practices be leveraged to support a just transition?
