- Written by Media Outreach
The Forum is supported by School of Finance, Renmin University of China (SFRUC) and China Financial Policy Research Centre (CFPRC) and co-organised by International Monetary Institute of Renmin University of China (IMI).
Focusing on the emerging field of Green Finance and Governance, the Forum will examine the significant commitments and substantive actions by governments, financial institutions and corporations in the Asian region in the face of environmental challenges. Experts and industry professionals from Singapore, China and other parts of the world will dissect the constantly- evolving landscape of Green Finance and Governance and explore ways to optimise collaboration between human expertise and sustainability efforts, fostering a world that is not only financially robust but also environmentally responsible.
The Forum will cover a wide range of topics, including how green finance can be used to create more sustainable and eco-friendly economies, how to create transparency and accountability in financial practices, and how to maintain the delicate balance between green objectives and economic stability, among other topics of interest to the industry. In addition, a panel discussion will be held on "Coordination Between ESG and Other Government Targets", aiming to help achieve better welfare for our economies.
RUC's leader (to be confirmed) and Prof Timothy Clark, SMU Provost, will deliver opening remarks in the first part of the Forum’s programme.
In the keynote speech segment, senior experts from the Ecological Finance Research Centre of RUC, SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business (LKCSB), BNP Paribas, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as well as related policy specialists will share their insights.
