Sustainable Debt EMEA 2024 | Environmental Finance | 15 April 2024 | Convene, 22 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4BQ, UK

In light of the increasing sophistication, diversity, and innovation across the spectrum of ESG-labelled bonds and loans, Environmental Finance is rebranding its long-established ‘ESG in Fixed Income Global Series’ to the ‘Sustainable Debt Global Series’.

We will continue to provide in-depth analysis of major market developments for green, social, and sustainability-linked bonds and we will expand our coverage to include a dedicated sustainable loans stream.

This event discuss the current and upcoming ESG trends in fixed income, addressing key issues and exploring strategies to grow the market for green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds and loans in the region.

We are proud that more than 50% of our event attendees are either issuers of debt instruments or they invest in them. This makes our event the networking hub for the community where ideas are shared, and deals can be made.

Some of the key areas of discussion include:
• Financing transition pathways
• Taxonomies and trends
• Taking stock of ESG regulation for 2024
• ESG-labelled loans
• Social bonds – could they die on our watch?
• SLBs – what next in the horizon?
• Sovereign issuance and sustainability engagement
• ESG approaches to structured securities
• Future trends and innovative structures
