Sustainable finance

Capital flows are important not only to states and big industrial actors, they also matter to local communities, and to small and medium sized enterprises. This seminar – a collaboration between BI Centre for Sustainability and Energy, UiO:Energy and IFE – presents the big trends in the global work with sustainable finance initiatives. Sign up to the seminar to join the discussion between representatives from the industry, policy makers and academia.
