Webinar 11: The key role of central banks and regulators in greening the financial system

Central banks and regulators are noting the risks and opportunities in green finance—and they are taking action. Entities such as the Central Bank and Supervisors Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), the Sustainable Banking Network (SBN), and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)—all reflect central banks’ and regulators’ interest in strengthening environmental and climate risk management in the financial sector to promote financial stability while mainstreaming finance to support the transition toward a sustainable economy. During the next event in our Ctrl + Alt + Delete: Green Rebuild series, we will facilitate a discussion with central banks and regulators about how they can accelerate efforts to “green” the financial system. Our distinguished panelists will speak about: i) sustainable finance strategies of their countries, ii) the importance of developing local standards, such as climate finance taxonomies, to harmonize international approaches and iii) the relevance of creating national sustainable-finance committees or working groups, among others.
