#SustainableFinance: Hội nghị cấp cao thúc đẩy chiến lược của EU về nền kinh tế xanh và sạch hơn vào mục tiêu cao

The European Commission is today (22 March) hosting a high-level conference on its strategy to reform the financial system in support of the EU's climate and sustainable development agenda. This event is an opportunity to maintain the momentum established at the Hội nghị cấp cao One Planet, cementing the support and commitment of EU leaders and key private players for the changes needed in the financial system and the economy.

The event is jointly hosted in Brussels by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis. Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission said: "Europe is open for sustainable business. But climate change knows no boundaries and will affect us all. We cannot work alone. This is why we want to lead international efforts and will work with our G7, G20 and United Nations partners to set global sustainable finance standards. Two decades ago, sustainability was a specialist topic for experts and scientists. Today, it is a daily reality and a priority for governments, for financial institutions, for business and for citizens […]. At its heart it is about making sure that our money works for our planet as well as our bottom line. There is no greater return on investment."
