This is the Just Transition Panel
HTF will present its new framework of impact assessment for technologies conceived and tested by various financial institutions (Amundi, Ardian, Royal Bank of Canada, and Partech). This framework aims to address a blind spot in current ESG practices regarding the evaluation of tech companies, their technologies’ impact, and controversy management.
The Call for Events process is now open for Building Bridges 2022. Building Bridges Week will begin Tuesday October 4th at 14h00 and will run until Thursday October 6 at 17h30. 50-55 events will be selected for the program. All types of organizations are encouraged to put forward their event concepts, whether they be finance industry players, academics, NGOs, international organizations, governments, or industry associations.
The organizers are holding an information session webinar on March 31st, at 3PM CET (UCT+1) to explain the guidelines and take any questions or comments. Registration is required.

As the COVID-19 situation is evolving in Switzerland, the organisers are looking closely at the measures to keep this forum safe.
At the moment, the situation is as follows: the forum is mainly in-person at the Swiss Tech Convention Center (COVID pass compulsory). There is also a possibility to join online to watch the presentations.
If the COVID measures were to change, we are also working on the possibility to organise the forum in a hybrid format, with a strong online dimension. Thanks for your understanding.
The World Bank office in Geneva is pleased to invite you to a virtual event to discuss the trends, challenges, and opportunities for mobilizing the financial sector in Emerging and Developing Economies (EMDEs) to finance investments to promote sustainable growth and protect nature.
This discussion comes as the COVID-19 pandemic is dealing an unprecedented setback to the worldwide effort to end extreme poverty and reduce inequality. Reversals in development, caused by the pandemic, threaten people’s lives, jobs, and livelihoods. The response to the crisis offers multiple opportunities to support countries rebuild stronger, greener and more equitable systems and institutions. Integrated longer-horizon Green, Resilient and Inclusive Development strategies are needed to repair the structural damage caused by COVID-19, accelerate climate change mitigation and adaptation, and underpin a strong and durable recovery.
Location: Geneva Centre for Security Policy, Maison de la paix, Chemin Eugene-Rigot 2D, 1202 Geneva
An event as part of the Building Bridges Week in Geneva
After our sector (Bretton Woods, DFIs, Foundations, impact Investment) has spent conservatively USDLRS 3 trillion in Development since the 2015 launch of the SDGs. UNCTAD most recent report in March noted that we are now 20% below where we started.
Can integrated Systems thinking (Big Data; Finance; Planning; Innovation) that has already revolutionized every other sector of the Economy and Politics now be applied to Development to reverse this trend and to frame a win win path to all societies stakeholder’s in solving the SDGs and the existential threat of Climate.
Supported by GCSP we are creating a new Entity called Equity4Humanity on the back of integrating USDLRS 65 million of already built capability. A collaboration promising higher economic and social returns and with social mission hardwired – a team of global experts / organisations including new CERN technology, a new global legal structure created by former Government Regulators (Charity and Finance), a Financial structure invented by the creator of the first blended structure and the SIB /DIB; and a systems planning process estimated by World Bank research to potentially take out 45% of the costs out of the SDGs.
