How can governments help channel private capital to accelerate the transition to clean, resilient and environmentally sustainable economies? This question will be at the heart of the Swiss-UK Dialogue on Sustainable Finance, which will bring together thought leaders, top industry executives and investors.

At this event, you will hear about the latest developments in sustainable finance in the UK and Switzerland, including the Transition Finance Market Review and the Swiss Climate Scores. The discussion will also explore the possible outcomes of COP29 and the likely increase in the collective quantified goal for climate finance. Other questions will include the role of private finance in the transition and how to close the adaptation finance gap. Register and join us to find the answers.
