Eco-Business will be hosting 'Unlocking capital for sustainability 2020' as a virtual dialogue.

Unlocking capital for sustainability is an annual premiere event organised by Eco-Business in partnership with UN Environment Programme (UNEP) that brings together high-level decision makers in finance, business, government and civic society to discuss and commit to actionable initiatives that mobilise the capital markets for sustainable development.The financial sector stands at a crossroads of change: Since the 2008 global financial crisis, the role of finance in building equitable, sustainable economies has been debated across societies. Set amid this backdrop is the rise of sustainable finance, which allocates capital with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) lens to create long-term value. Despite the encouraging momentum however, the deployment of private capital for sustainable finance remains relatively small. According to the Business and Sustainable Development Commission, sustainable development in Asia will require US$5 trillion of investments to address complex challenges of climate change, growing inequality and rising urbanisation by 2030. How can the finance industry accelerate the responsible deployment of capital for these solutions in a rapidly growing region?Join us at Unlocking capital for sustainability 2020: Building back betterPlease find more details and the agenda here: <a href="https://events.eco-business.com/events/unlocking-capital-for-sustainability-2020" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://events.eco-business.com/events/unlocking-capital-for-sustainability-2020</a>.*Please note that registration will close at 6.30 PM Singapore time, 9 September. *-------------------<h3>Virtual event packages</h3>All FULL ACCESS tickets include:-1.
