Summary
An uncertain future leads to growing category of risks to global prosperity and the sustainability of economic development.
These risks originate from unsustainable economic activities that are motivated by the assumption of unlimited natural resources. This paradigm, in turn, creates a flawed pricing system along with other externalities, including inaccurate costing of ecosystems services and growing social inequity.
This event explores the opportunities and solutions available to reform our financial systems and capital markets in order to incentivize investments in sustainable development, promote greater transparency and accountability in fiscal decision-making and shift our socio-economic structures to a more sustainable foundation. We will discuss key financial ‘tests’ reflect on the current state of the FfD Outcome Document.
We will also discuss the various initiatives of the event partners, which will aid in the reform of financial systems to incentivize investment in sustainable development.
