Financing the Transformation
to a Low-Carbon Economy

It increases energy productivity and therefore constitutes both an attractive investment opportunity and a vital means of risk mitigation. Channelling capital into this low-carbon economy poses a gigantic challenge to investors, shareholders and their intermediaries. It is expected that some 85 per cent of the financial resources needed to fight climate change will have to come from private sources. The detailed programme and most speaker portraits are now available.
This Symposium will help you to: Have a clear vision of a future carbon-constrained world Identify the associated investment needs (real economy), opportunities and risks (financial markets) Discover business opportunities and innovative financing models Recognise good risk-return profiles and identify potential investment risks
