Green Finance Conference: Building bridges for financing a sustainable transition
From May 15 – 16 the Environment Agency Austria invites you to join the conference “Building Bridges for Financing a Sustainable Transition”. The conference is organized together with the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Climate and Environmental Protection, Regions and Water Management and the environmental agencies from Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. This event is part of the conference series “Science and Practice for Green Finance” initiated by the German-speaking environmental agencies within the DACH-LIE-LUX Green Finance Working Group.
These are challenging times for green finance. While the need to finance a low-carbon and sustainable transition is growing, many policymakers seem to have other priorities. All the more reason to rethink and, where necessary, adapt strategies. At our conference, experts will present their current research results and we will discuss options for successful implementation and further development of regulatory frameworks, in particular on climate and biodiversity. In addition, a session will be dedicated to international perspectives on green finance, with a special focus on countries in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The aim is to build bridges between science and practice in the financial sector, policy and administration. This will involve identifying knowledge and data gaps and discussing the need for practical tools.
When: May 15-16, 2025
Where: Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), Kassensaal, Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Vienna, Austria or online
