What is this conference about? 

With the inception of the CSRD in 2023, which starts to bite in 2025, climate finance has really come of age. Any organisation that is looking for serious outward investment will now need to consider its climate and other sustainability impacts more than they have ever before. But this isn't a new thing: the TCFD and other reporting mechanisms have been in place for some time, asking or mandating organisations to disclose their climate impacts with a view to how those could affect the financial standing of the organisation. This conference will delve into what climate finance means for businesses, how to access it, what the burden of reporting means and what the benefits are.
 
This is a live online session. We will contact you with joining instructions at least 24 hours before your session starts.
