GLF Luxembourg 2019 | Global Landscapes Forum | 30 November 2019 | European Convention Center Luxembourg, 4 Place de l'Europe, 1499 Luxembourg

Luxembourg will host a ground-breaking conference exploring the scope for sustainable finance in a world of new challenges and unprecedented opportunities. The events, under the theme of “Breakthroughs in Sustainable Finance”, will delve into the practical implications of key developments such as sustainable insurance, impact-based financing and landscape protection in agribusiness supply chains.

How can banks and investors drive more capital to sustainable, commercially-viable agricultural production and processing models that are aligned with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement? How can we address growing food demand and improve environmental and social outcomes? What roles can governments play to incentivize financial institutions and companies in the agricultural value chain to transition to deforestation-free production and supply chains? How do we create more “bankable projects” and move from niche to mainstream?
