Carbon Markets & Finance to Support Risk Management and Build Resilience - London Climate Action Week LCAW2020

2 July 2020

Through 2020, not only are countries preparing to submit enhanced NDCs but also post-2020 climate finance pledges. These ambitious efforts now occur amid COVID impact and economic recovery backdrops – along with growing calls to address climate-related systemic risks to the financial sector. Sharing private sector perspectives from across sectors and borders, this joint IETA-CMIA event will examine the critical role of market mechanisms to support climate action, build resilience, and clean private investments at scale, while connecting-the-dots on how effective disclosure and risk mitigation can further support the power and impact of these market solutions to tackle climate change.
