3 March 2021: At a Cyprus green finance conference co-organised by ICAEW, finance, sustainability and political leaders discussed what needs to happen to ensure that COVID-19 recovery delivers lasting improvement.
Green finance is critical to a sustainable recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. That was the main message of a recent Cyprus event co-organised by ICAEW, WWF, Cyprus UK Business Association and the British High Commission Nicosia, Charting Economic Recovery to Integrate Green Finance: The Role of Government, Financial Services and Funding Institutions.
British High Commissioner HE Stephen Lillie opened the event by setting the scene for the discussion to come. Governments are designing and implementing economic recovery packages at the moment, and there’s an opportunity to fully address the climate change challenge.
