Geneva Day - Time for sustainable finance to accelerate the decarbonization of the economy

We are running out of time to take action against climate change and biodiversity loss. Climate change has a reverberating effect on all aspects of our lives and the whole economic value chain. The private sector is an engine for economic growth while having a decisive impact on climate change and nature. Emerging markets are essential to “net zero transition” but they lack the capital to fund it.
