FT Climate Finance Summit
Scaling up Finance for Climate Action
London | 23 May 2017
Dear Sir/Madam,
The FT Climate Finance Summit: Scaling up Finance for Climate Action will explore the vital role of
international finance in global efforts to combat climate change, as well as the risks and
opportunities for businesses, financial markets and investors in the new climate economy.
A ‘quiet revolution’ in already underway -the value of capital being committed to green
infrastructure investments is growing, and innovations such as green bonds and internal carbon
pricing are becoming part of companies’ financing tool kit. Yet despite these efforts, climate finance
remains marginal to international capital flows and inadequate for global needs.
Join a senior audience of leading green financiers, corporate decision makers, policy makers and
investors to gain the bigger picture on how the full potential of the world’s capital markets can be
scaled up for climate action.
