FICCI, WWF-India and IBA are collaboratively organising a workshop on the theme of 'Mainstreaming Nature and Climate-related Risks for the Finance Sector' on 9th December 2024 at Federation House, FICCI, New Delhi. With this larger theme in place the focus at the workshop would be on two major sectors within the economy: Agro-commodities Finance and Infrastructure Finance.

 

There is growing momentum around sustainable finance in India, with the investors increasingly asking for non-financial disclosures and the regulator echoing the need for increasing the understanding of the banking sector professionals on climate and ESG impacts of financial decision making.

 

To ensure that India’s finance sector workforce develops the ESG skills and competencies necessary to implement and achieve the objectives of India’s sustainable finance roadmap, sustainable finance education is critical to upskilling the sector at scale.
