The event will be held on November 3 in person and virtually, and will count with the collaboration of the Australian Government, which will allow the use of its pavilion at COP26 (Glasgow, Scotland) to hold the two sessions where the role played by various financial institutions, such as green banks, to move private investments towards actions that contribute to climate solutions will be discussed.

The sessions will show how green banking contributes to the progress of developed and emerging markets by pioneering institutional innovation in climate finance. It will also highlight lessons learned and success stories from existing green banks that are relevant nationally and globally.
