A global overview and an update from Frankfurt
Will the current pandemic serve as a catalysator for sustainable finance and development – or further delay ambitious plans in politics and business? What will be the role of a post-election USA? What is the state of play of the EU Sustainable Finance Action Plan? What happened to the pledge to link EU recovery funds to a Green New Deal? And, above all, how do FinTechs promoting sustainable finance and development navigate these agitated waters?
Arabesque, Ecoligo, Frankfurt Main Finance, GreenMania, Melanin Kapital and MES&DAK invite you to discuss these and other questions with us on Tuesday, 10 November 2020, 15.00-16.00 CET/10.00-11.00 EST.
