UNEP FI 2009 Global Roundtable

Copenhagen and beyond - The role of finance in climate change

Workshop 1
22 October
11.40-13.00

After the credit crunch and sub-prime, finance and insurance know they cannot afford another truly systemic shock; climate change cannot be left unchecked and needs to be addressed. UNEP FI and partners have developed clear ideas on what financial institutions need from the landmark decisions at the upcoming climate conference in Copenhagen ("COP 15") and beyond to live up to their roles and responsibilities. This session will facilitate - just six weeks before this historic conference - a final discussion between climate change government negotiatorsand finance practitioners on what the international climate change regime post-Kyoto should best look like.
