Sustainable Finance in Emerging Markets – Views from Emerging Europe was part of the IIF ESG Webinar Series, which was designed to promote understanding of the rapidly evolving landscape for sustainable investment and to align efforts to measure and track climate finance. The objective of this ESG webinar was to discuss sustainable finance in emerging markets (EM). This was the third in a series of ESG webinars focusing on EM expertise from different regions.

We discussed key insights on how institutions in the region responded to trends in the global sustainable finance agenda, emerging Europe’s relationship with the EU with regards to sustainable finance, and how Garanti BBVA has established a sustainable business model.
