6th OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment

As part of its extensive work on green finance and investment, the OECD has convened the annual Forum since 2014. As highlighted by OECD Deputy-Secretary General Mr. Masamichi Kono in his 2018 Op-Ed, mobilising green finance and investment at scale requires multi-stakeholder engagement.

The Forum, now the annual flagship event of the Centre, gathers senior policymakers, investors and key actors in green and sustainable finance and investment from around the world for open and action-oriented discussions to advance the global agenda.

The upcoming Forum will discuss emerging green and sustainable finance and investment issues, including:

• Current international initiatives on sustainable finance;
• The role of central banks in aligning the financial system with environmental objectives;
• Due diligence for responsible business conduct in general corporate lending and underwriting;
• Emerging taxonomies for sustainable finance;
• Environmental, social and governance (ESG) fund management;
• Institutional investors and sustainable infrastructure investment;
• Enhancing disclosure and due diligence for climate-related risks;
• Clean energy finance and investment mobilisation in emerging markets ;
• The role of public financial institutions in financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
• The business case for action on biodiversity, especially in the financial sector;
  Benchmarks for SDGs;
• Private financing for water infrastructure; and
• Financing sustainable cities.
