In this background, Civil20’s working group on Sustainable and Resilient Communities, sub group on Net Zero Emissions Management, is organising a policy round table on the theme ‘Green Finance’. Green finance refers to financial products and services that promote sustainable development, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and clean transportation. It helps to address climate change, promote sustainable development, reduce risks associated with climate change and promote economic development.

It will bring together experts from different domains of the civil society to discuss and deliberate on the current state of Green Finance including the technological and other challenges involved, and propose the way forward. The deliberations will result in recommendations, which will be submitted to C20 and G20 member countries for their consideration.
