The conference will be held on 27 January at the Embassy of Luxembourg Warsaw, with a focus on the future of sustainable finance, digital strategy, and initiatives in the two countries.
Green and sustainable finance are getting more attention thanks to policies, regulations, market forces and the actions taken by the United Nations and the European Commission.
Based on the importance of this issue related to the finance service will be debated on 27 January this year at a conference entitled “Future of sustainable finance. Digital Strategy and Initiatives in Luxembourg & Poland”, held at the Embassy of Luxemburg. Experts from Poland and Luxembourg will be host a panel discussion in the field of sustainable finances, focusing on innovation and digital solutions.
This conference is organised by the Luxembourgish Embassy in Poland in close cooperation with the Luxembourg Poland Chamber of Commerce, the Polish Embassy in Luxembourg and Poland Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce from Poland.
In September 2019, on the occasion of the upcoming 5th anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations (UN) General Assembly declared 2020-2030 as the “Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals”. The UN called on states and multinational corporations to accelerate sustainable solutions to all of the world's biggest challenges – from poverty, inequality, closing the financial gap to climate change.
Undoubtedly, one of the important elements enabling the SDG goals will be technological and digital transformation, which, among other things, can prevent global warming. Also not insignificant is the European Commission's September 2020 Digital Finance Package, including the Digital Finance Strategy and legislative proposals on cryptoassets and digital resilience, for a competitive EU financial sector that provides consumers with access to innovative financial products.
