Climate Finance Day 2021
This year’s 7th Climate Finance Day will take place on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at the Palais Brongniart, with a series of accredited events throughout the week. This day, recognized as a must-attend event for discussions on sustainable finance, will be dedicated to the theme ‘Sustainable Finance: It’s Time for a Real Impact !’.
The year 2021 will mark a turning point for political mobilization in favor of environmental protection, with the holding of COP26 on climate and COP15 on biodiversity. World leaders have the opportunity to take action to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, by stepping up their ambition to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, itself a condition for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this dynamic, the Paris financial center invites you to Climate Finance Day, not only to continue integrating sustainable finance, but above all to seek the real impact that will enable both the transition and the revival of our global economy.
The 7th edition will be dedicated to ‘It’s time for a real Impact!’.
The financial sector has produced tools and processes to integrate extra-financial criteria into its activities. Institutions have adopted commitments, while professionals are improving their skills. However, they must collectively aim higher to participate in the economic efforts of the transition. There is a profound and immediate need to put social and environmental issues at the heart of finance, as a political driver. It is necessary to create future opportunities for aligning financial flows. What’s more, the search for real impact is the only way to meet citizens’ aspirations and strengthen economic resilience in the face of climate risks. The Paris financial center is mobilized to enable the transformation of the real economy and promote rapid economic recovery, in Europe and beyond. Investors, bankers, entrepreneurs and public authorities are coordinated to share this ambition and ensure that these goals are translated into concrete action. Join us to explore how impact finance will provide the tools for meaningful change towards a resilient, carbon-neutral future.Registration will be open soon!
