CLIMATE FIRST

WHAT: World Bank Group's Innovate4Climate - Finance & Markets Week WHEN: May 22-26, Barcelona, Spain

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Last year’s historic Paris Agreement and the overall trend to include climate change in the sustainable development agenda have set the direction for a broader global climate action. Greening the finance sector; de-risking investments; driving low-carbon pathways through transformative policies and carbon pricing; and supporting the implementation of NDCs around the world are a few of the topics for this new global platform.
