Please join us during Climate Week for breakfast and a discussion examining the evolving sustainable finance market and sustainable investing landscape and the forces shaping transactions, investment, and capital deployment.

Our panel will review sustainable finance activity over the last 18 months and discuss how changing market conditions, economic and political pressures, evolving ESG considerations, and shifting investor priorities are influencing sustainable and development finance transactions and sustainable investment strategies. 

The conversation will also explore opportunities and challenges for investors and bondholders providing catalytic capital, as well as the role of key market participants in advancing sustainable finance and navigating the evolving ESG landscape.

  • Recent trends in sustainable and development finance transactions
  • Market and regulatory pressures affecting sustainable finance and sustainable investing 
  • Shifts in investor and issuer priorities and ESG-related investment strategies
  • The role of catalytic and impact capital in supporting transactions

The discussion will bring together professionals and legal counsel from across the sustainable finance market, including financial institutions, arrangers and underwriters, impact investors, transaction advisors, bond investors, asset managers, institutional investors, nonprofits, foundations, and other market participants.

Breakfast will be served.
