Volunteer at Building Bridges 2022

Building Bridges is a week-long sustainable finance conference focused on bringing together diverse stakeholders to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economic system aligned with the vision put forth in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.

The first edition of Building Bridges took place in October 2019 and was highly successful, leading to momentum in the Swiss and international communities. We are now building off of that momentum to take more concrete action in the 2022 edition, which will take place October 3 – 6 at CICG, Geneva. It will feature over 65 events on sustainable finance, a marquee summit, and a networking village. It is expected to attract over 3,000 attendees from the finance industry, the United Nations, governments, NGOs, academia, and more.

We are seeking a large group of volunteers to support Building Bridges Week and Summit.
