Green Finance: sustainable investments in fragile environments

The event, in collaboration with adelphi, will bring together the London-based and international investment community along with government and civil-society stakeholders to explore the critical role of finance in supporting and preserving environmentally sensitive regions while also fostering economic development, reducing conflict over resources, navigating criminal dynamics and promoting sustainable livelihoods. It will discuss the ecological, social and economic significance of investing in environmentally sensitive regions and the potential for positive impacts on global climate stability and biodiversity preservation; examine the specific risks investors face when financing projects in these fragile contexts, including political instability, security risks and regulatory challenges; and present strategies and frameworks that can help mitigate these risks, such as partnerships with local communities, adherence to sustainable-investment principles and leveraging technology for better monitoring and management.
