Trade House event at COP28: Stock exchanges and climate action - Financing the net zero transition

Stock exchanges play a crucial role in the innovation of financial solutions that bolster climate-positive initiatives and the adoption of business practices encourage greater climate action among companies.

Through the development of climate-aligned products, services, and regulations, exchanges hold a pivotal role in enhancing the climate resilience of their markets.

Exchanges also assume significant importance in facilitating the adoption of new climate-aligned standards and the dissemination of climate-related information across financial markets and they can contribute to their transformation towards a net-zero future by implementing guidelines, benchmarks, and educational initiatives.

This event will be live streamed
