Increasing bankability, phasing out carbon investments and funding 'never bankable' activities.
How can political decision-makers strengthen sustainable and climate-friendly investments - and at the same time effectively curb high carbon financial flows? The public launch event investigates this question and presents a policy report that summarises the results of a three-year research project on the matter. In the report, the authors analyse financial policy instruments that pave the way to the net-zero climate target, from increasing the bankability of green activities to promoting economically unviable but socially necessary activities and measures to end carbon-intensive investments.
Presentation by Prof. Dr. Joscha Wullweber.
Comments by Silke Stremlau, chairwomen of the last German government’s council for Sustainable Finance.
Moderation by Jan Schulte, free journalist and author of various articles on Sustainable Finance (e.g., for Berliner Tagesspiegel, DIE ZEIT and WirtschaftsWoche).
The event will be held in english.
