[Webinar] Transition Financing: A Need or A Want?

Overview

It is predicted that we will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius within this century, 20 years ahead of the 2050 benchmark. Transition finance is no longer a want, but a need as the change will fuel a dangerous rise in disasters that could disrupt the economy and lead to economic and social losses.

As we strive towards a carbon-resilient world, transition financing will play a crucial role in helping to manage the vulnerabilities of certain industries and ensuring the long-term stability of the world economic order.
