Webinar of the SDG FinTech Initiative on FinTech Driving Sustainable Finance & Development
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?
The SDG FinTech Initiative organized a webinar on FINTECH DRIVING SUSTAINABLE FINANCE & DEVELOPMENT – A GLOBAL OVERVIEW AND AN UPDATE FROM FRANKFURT on 10 November 2020.
One of the foremost experts in the field, former Executive Director of Global Compact Georg Kell, gave the keynote.
