Advancing Canada’s climate goals through sustainable finance: A cross-partisan dialogue

Join us for an engaging online event where elected officials will discuss their strategies for advancing Canada’s climate goals through sustainable finance, ensuring Canada builds a resilient economy and healthy environment.
Canada has committed to climate action both internationally and domestically. As part of Canada’s commitment to the Paris Agreement, the government pledged to cut emissions by at least 40-45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. During this event, you’ll hear from policymakers who are committed to achieving these goals by ensuring alignment of Canada’s whole financial system, including banks, pension funds, and insurance companies.
As our governments and institutions grapple with the climate crisis, the financial sector plays a crucial role in driving positive change. Explore how sustainable finance policy is essential to put Canada on track to reach its targets.
