The Institute of Global Finance at UNSW Business School and the UNSW Institute for Industrial Decarbonisation would like to warmly invite you to attend this Forum on Climate finance, Decarbonisation, and Green industry development. The event brings together some outstanding speakers who can share the ways in which engineers and scientists, the business community, central banks, the financial market and policy makers, and others, are working to mitigate the impact of climate change, through their efforts and contributions within their industries. The upcoming COP29 is mainly focused on the significance of green finance as a way of fast tracking transformational changes in industries and systems and building resilient financial architecture for the emerging low carbon global economy. Central issues include the process of transition to cleaner sources of energy, better planning for water, energy and transport infrastructure and the development of new clean tech facilities for producing critical industrial materials such as metals, plastics, ammonia and cement. It’s vital to bring financial and economic expertise to the complex sequencing and step change challenges.
