Harnessing Finance to Address Climate Change, in Pursuit of Global Peace and Equality
One of the priorities of the Foundation is reforming global financial architecture to incentivise investment in climate change action and other areas of sustainable development.
The Assisi Accord meeting of 21-22 May 2022 brought together figures of international significance from diverse professional, social, and religious backgrounds to reach agreement in this area. Signatories agreed to harness global finance to work towards delivering the Paris Agreement and the UN’s 2030 Agenda. A second roundtable was held online on 6 September 2022 to progress the Accord.
The Accord is an ongoing document that recognises the role played by the global financial sector in environmental degradation while also advocating for it to be part of the solution.
