Unlocking capital for sustainability

Unlocking capital for sustainability is an annual premiere event organised by Eco-Business in partnership with UN Environment that brings together high-level decision makers in finance, business, government and civic society to discuss and commit to actionable initiatives that mobilise the capital markets for sustainable development projects.

In 2019, this event will be held on 22 January, in the run up to the Third Forum of Ministers and Environment Authorities of Asia Pacific, organized by the UN Environment Asia Pacific Regional Office and the Singapore Government from 23 to 25 January 2019 in Singapore.

This will provide further opportunities for high level policymakers in the region to engage with business and finance leaders on advancing sustainable finance.
