UNEP FI 2009 Global Roundtable

22-23 October 2009 | Cape Town, South Africa

The UNEP FI Global Roundtable has set the global agenda for sustainable finance over the years. As it travels across continents, this biennial event attracts hundreds of professionals from the global financial sector and its many stakeholders in the public and private domains, including governments, civil society and academia. In 2009, UNEP FI is proud to hold its first-ever Global Roundtable in the African continent, which will take place in Cape Town, South Africa from 22 to 23 October.

Amid the global financial and economic crisis, the Cape Town Roundtable has become even more timely and relevant as the financial sector reassesses traditional thinking and practices, and explores the best way towards achieving sustainable financial markets and economies.

Moreover, 2009 is a critical year for the world with the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this December that will produce a new global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On the road to Copenhagen, the Cape Town Roundtable will help frame discussions on international climate policy that will have resounding impacts on the financial sector and international carbon markets.

UNEP FI invites you to join its vibrant global network of signatories and partner organisations across the banking, insurance and investment communities to discuss the latest developments and emerging issues on finance and sustainability during these challenging and changing times.

With UNEP FI always on the cutting-edge of sustainable finance, the Cape Town Roundtable will offer interactive panel sessions, in-depth debates, and expert training on:

• Responsible investment
• Sustainable banking
• Low-carbon economy
• Financing renewables
• Sustainable insurance
• Transparency, reporting and accountability
• Responsible property investment
• Microfinance
• Finance and water
• Valuing natural capital
• Financing for sustainable development
