Amid the dual challenges of the global economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, green finance is fast becoming a new development concept and instrument that countries are striving to promote. Many pioneering practices and attempts have been carried out in terms of policies, institutions, industries and capacity building. Disseminating these successful cases on a global scale and accelerating the spread of green finance is crucial for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality target, driving green growth, sustainable development and even saving the planet on which we live.
The International Finance Forum (IFF), known as the F20 (Finance 20), upholds the spirit of “Comprehensive and Sustainable Development – New Capital, New Value, and New World”. IFF initiated the first Global Green Finance Award in 2020. Leveraging on global networks and platforms, IFF is committed to establishing partnerships worldwide via exchanges and dialogue with governments, enterprises and the civil society, to promote the development of green finance and foster green growth. Through research and demonstration , innovative green finance projects will foster green recovery in the post-pandemic era, thus contributing to green growth and realization of SDGs.
