Abstract session 4 – Seminar – Green investment tools for sustainable development

Presented by NTNU Sustainability and Sustainable Development Solutions Network Northern Europe (SDSN NE)

            

When: Friday, 19 October 09:00-10:30
Room: LIVING 4*
Moderator: Fritz Balkau, International Advisor at Sustainable Solutions, Paris

To implement the UN Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Development Financing, new financial instruments are needed to cover the wide area of sustainable development. Green finance is becoming a leading tool to connect forward-looking industrial actors and businesses with investors. The background for this development is that business models that promote sustainability are better suited for future markets. In addition, new green investment tools expand relevant innovation opportunities. Currently, the use of green investment tools, such as green bonds and the decarbonization of financial portfolios, are growing. Nevertheless, compared with the global financial market these instruments are still very small.

This talk-show format session will discuss how green investment tools can be scaled up and become more holistic in the Agenda 2030 perspective by simultaneously addressing environment, social and governance issues. Speakers will present experiences with green investment tools, and discuss issues of how to make green investment tools more holistic from the UN Agenda 2030 perspective.

Speakers include:

  • Fritz Balkau, International Advisor at Sustainable Solutions, Paris (Moderator)
  • Jan Erik Saugestad, CEO Storebrand Asset Management
  • Björn Bergstrand, Head of Sustainability at Kommuninvest in Sweden
  • İdil Bilgiç, Principal Economist at The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
  • Kristina Alnes, Senior Advisor, CICERO
  • Anders Olstad, CFO, Entra ASA
