Keynote voice communication and Opening Plenary: Climate change after COP26 – what’s next for inclusive finance?

All investors and inclusive finance stakeholders have a challenge ahead. Business as usual has showed us that sooner than later vulnerable populations will endure the most of climate change in a desolate context of insufficient infrastructure and insufficient access to basic services. This will increase financial risks and place in peril social inclusion. The IPCC has called for action and urges governments and organizations to mobilize. The COP26 has just finished its work. What is the way forward for the inclusive finance sector? Could green inclusive finance be part of the answer to ensure social, financial inclusion in a context of climate change? What strategies to take? What have we learned from previous experiences? Impact investors will discuss and react to scenarios. This plenary is for all professionals and academics interested in green finance and climate change.
