Overview
With transition finance being a major focus globally in order to meet the global objectives enshrined within the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the ICMA Italian region held a half day conference in Milan to present the Italian perspective and how financing the transition is shaping up within an evolving regulatory framework.
Featuring speakers from key market players in the Italian market including CONSOB, development banks and corporate issuers from energy, railway and water supply, the event looked at the latest best practices from the Principles, the regulations needed to support sustainable finance and how they are tackling transition finance from an issuer and investor perspective.
