Sustainable Banking and Finance Network - Global Meeting
SBFN Global Meetings are high-level global forums for SBFN members, observers, and partners, including financial sector regulators, central banks, industry associations, and international networks committed to advancing sustainable finance.
In this 8th edition, we will reflect on the achievements and insights of SBFN members and partners and explore key themes for future work. It will feature high-level speakers, including IFC senior management, central bank governors, heads of regulatory agencies and industry associations in emerging markets, and representatives of leading international networks and standard-setting bodies.
The work of SBFN and its members in advancing sustainable finance nationally, regionally, and globally has never been more critical, and the SBFN Global Meeting will take place this year in the margin of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG) meeting, presenting a unique opportunity to bring the voice of EMDEs into the global dialogue on sustainable finance and benefitting from high-level speakers from the G20 SFWG.
Since its inception, IFC and SBFN have served as knowledge partners to the G20 SFWG, offering valuable insights through a series of Input Papers that include case studies of member experiences, thereby providing an emerging markets perspective to inform the global agenda.
Day 1 (September 11th) will focus on strategy and member engagement. This is an opportunity for SBFN members to discuss SBFN's strategic priorities and working group deliverables, engage in peer-to-peer learning, hear from global experts, and showcase their progress and initiatives in promoting sustainable finance at national and regional levels. All participants are invited to join these sessions.
Day 2 (September 12th) will focus on high-level dialogue and engagement with global thought-leaders, featuring panel discussions on key trends, opportunities, and challenges in sustainable finance across emerging markets. The event will feature high-level speakers from key global initiatives including the G20 SFWG, SBFN members, and IFC and World Bank experts.
