Time: 15:00 - 16:30 CET | Followed by a networking reception
Venue: ICMA, Avenue des Arts 56, 1000 Brussels
The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) is pleased to invite EU and national policymakers, regulators, and the policy community to an exclusive afternoon roundtable discussion session at our Brussels office.
This interactive roundtable discussion on Sustainable Finance will focus on:
- The proposed review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ("SFDR 2.0") - a milestone legislation for the ESG focused investments and fund industry in the EU (see ICMA's position paper);
- ICMA's recently released Climate Transition Bond Guidelines (CTBG) which introduce a standalone Climate Transition Bond label designed to help (re)finance critical projects for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, especially from those in high-emitting sectors and/or with high-emitting activities.
The roundtable will be led jointly by ICMA’s Sustainable Finance Team, moderated by ICMA’s Deputy CEO Nicholas Pfaff with a presentation by ICMA’s Director Özgür Altun, and host key policy and market stakeholders as panellists. It will provide an excellent opportunity for the audience to engage with experts on the evolving landscape of sustainable finance and transition finance.
The roundtable discussion will be followed by a reception at 16:30 CET, offering the chance to continue discussions in an informal setting.
Please note that the event will take place in person and will be recorded (audio + video) and released on the ICMA website in due course.
