South Pole Group kindly invites you to our seminar “COP21 Revisited – Emerging Trends on Climate Change for the Financial Industry in 2016”. It will take place on March 9 over breakfast from 8-10am at Brasserie Lipp.

The seminar will cover the impulses for action given through COP21 and what trends are emerging in the financial sector in reaction to it. In this context, we will highlight (1) recent developments relating to green bonds as an increasingly used financial instrument to channel more finance into climate change action and (2) CLIMPAX, a EU-funded project developing the first holistic climate impact rating for investment funds.

Date and time: March 9, 8-10am
Venue: Brasserie Lipp, Uraniastrasse 9, 8001 Zürich
Public transport: Zürich Rennweg (Tram 6 / 7 / 11 / 13 / 17)
