Green and Sustainable Conference #2
Current patterns of energy and natural resource use, require urgent remediation. These patterns contribute to climate crisis, depletion of natural resources and therefore reduced economic growth.
Green and Sustainable finance plays a fundamental role in promoting the transition to a carbon neutral and sustainable Europe. The finance sector internationally must adopt new economic models, so that climate change and environmental degradation are defeated. The overall aim is to ensure economic growth and business recovery whilst considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations.
The European Commission’s Sustainable Finance Strategy aligns with the European Green Deal. The two are interrelated given that in order to achieve the objectives of the Green Deal, large financial flows are required in sustainable investments. These investments should be directed towards the development of green projects and technologies with low carbon footprints and the preservation of the natural environment (e.g., installations of renewable energy sources, alternative fuel projects, etc.).
In this context, the “Green and Sustainable Finance #2 conference”, aims to highlight the enormous power that lies in the financial sector through funding and raises awareness to issues of sustainability. In achieving this, a wealth of experts on the subject will be there to share their knowledge and to discuss this essential economic transition. The conference will host a panel of experts from both the private and public sector, from Cyprus and abroad, which are closely related to this field.
The conference is supported by the British High Commission in Nicosia, and it is organised by ideopsis Ltd and Grand Thornton (Cyprus) Ltd
