Sustainable Finance and Green Taxonomy

About this learning event

At this workshop, we will focus on sustainable finance and developing green taxonomies, which are comprehensive frameworks that set criteria for determining environmentally sustainable economic activities. These taxonomies are essential for advancing sustainable finance. We will also examine the implications of the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
