The financial markets and the promotion of sustainable finance play a key role in mitigating climate change. The topic will be addressed in the ‘Greener Finance for Sustainable Future’ conference, which aims to provide a forum for different perspectives and ideas to stimulate the debate around sustainable finance.

For example, the conference will discuss the following topics:

• impact of climate change on financial markets – and vice versa
• means by which financial markets can support sustainable finance
• significance of digitalisation, financial technology and data for green investments
• challenges in defining sustainability
• role of climate change in financial supervision and financial risks.

The conference will include keynotes and panel discussions covering a range of fields concerning sustainable financing. The opening remarks will be given by Minister of Finance Mika Lintilä and Governor of the Bank of Finland Olli Rehn.
