SIFE builds on the success of its Forum in New York, Climate Action is bringing the Sustainable Investment Forum to Europe, an ideal location for such an event. The European market is leading the global climate finance market including advanced SRI and ESG strategies, green bond issuance, European Emission Trading System (EU ETS), COP21 and the French law Article 173. However, most European investors still haven’t aligned their investments with the 2C target. Much more needs to happen in the near future to scale up low-carbon investment and fulfil EU's determination to scale up its international climate finance contribution towards the $100 billion per year goal set for industrialised countries by 2020 and through until 2025.
