The Growing Green Finance Gap: Can Digital Bonds be the Bridge?
Digital bonds, including tokenisation and real-time impact verification, are emerging as a way to unlock sustainability finance flows: lower costs, faster and more flexible issuance, less risk of greenwashing.
This interactive session runs as an open Q&A. Our panel of global experts advises issuers, from cities to corporates, on how digitalising green and sustainability-labelled bonds could deliver the finance they need. Panellists bring practitioner experience across sustainable finance, banking, municipal finance, urban climate measures and resilience projects.
Bring your most pressing questions on city climate finance and we will explore the challenges together.
Framing
This section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
Persistent challenges- costly issuance, fragmented standards, and weak verification- limit credibility for investors and accessibility for issuers. We will explore the needs and challenges of different issuers and discuss how we can ensure transparency, efficiency, and real-time impact in capital markets.
