At the municipal level, sustainable infrastructure projects financed by green bonds are helping to address poverty, economic growth and other Sustainable Development Goals. At the national level, green taxonomies and green finance frameworks are providing critical guidance to investors and issuers as well as helping to safeguard against greenwashing. On 30 September (9h00 ART / 14h00 CEST / 19h00 WIB) join us for the webinar How Green Bonds Are Financing Sustainable Development. We will hear from municipal and national leaders and experts from Argentina, Indonesia and South Africa on how green bonds are being accessed and utilized; the purpose and function of green finance taxonomies; why tailor-made sustainability frameworks are key to success; and the importance of South-South Cooperation for exchange of best practice and lessons learned. The panel will delve into the opportunities, challenges and broad potential of green bonds for driving forward sustainable development in advance of the climate finance and biodiversity discussions planned for the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26). Discussion questions include: How are municipalities approaching the question of green bonds, in the context of their mandates? Why are fit-for-purpose green finance frameworks necessary?
