This is the first session in the Climate Finance Training Series, offered jointly by DIFC Academy and the Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI). In this series, we will help finance practitioners to understand the COP process, global trends in climate finance and best practice approaches to developing and implementing net zero strategies.
Do you understand the role and importance of COP?
Do you know how critical public and private finance is in addressing climate change?
What can and cannot be expected from the formal UNFCCC process?
What are the challenges and opportunities of the low-carbon, resilient transition and how can global financial institutions support their clients in this?
Find answers to these questions – and more relating to COP28 and the role of financial services – in our upcoming webinar. Our panel features veterans of previous COPs with extensive experience of different aspects of the negotiations, who will walk you through all things COP28.
