Event Overview

From billions to trillions in green bonds sounds attractive. What will it take? You’re invited to be part of the answers.

 

Climate Bonds 2018 Annual Conference in March is the centrepiece of a green finance week in London. From the China Green Bonds Investor Forum to the first 2018 meeting of the European Green Securities Steering Committee, green bond market growth is ‘the’ agenda. Registrations are now open for Plenaries, Parallel Sessions and the Roundtables where the big debates and discussions will take place on moving from billions to trillions and reaching the $1trillion milestone by the end of 2020. Once registered, participants are also invited to attend the 2018 Green Bond Pioneer Awards, an evening to celebrate the green bonds leaders in the world.
