DESCRIPTION:Deadline for application\n\n11 October 2024\n\nPlease note\n\
 nActive participation in the form of a short presentation on green finan
 ce initiatives is mandatory.\n\nObjective\n\nThe signing of the Paris Ag
 reement on climate change on 12 December 2015 marked a milestone for the
  world and the global economy. Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreemen
 t will require a transformation of the financial system\, its culture an
 d its incentives. In this context\, sustainability means making economic
  prosperity long-lasting\, socially inclusive and less dependent on the 
 exploitation of finite resources. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreem
 ent\, several initiatives have been launched. Central Banks and Supervis
 ors Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) began its activitie
 s in January 2018. The network members agreed on an agenda which include
 s sharing experiences and identifying best practices with regard to the 
 supervisory and macrofinancial dimensions of climate-related and environ
 mental risks as well as on options to scale up green financing. The 2020
  BIS publication titled “The green swan” discussed the role of central b
 anks in green and sustainable finance over more than 100 pages.  \n\nMar
 ch 2018 saw the European Commission unveil its strategy for a financial 
 system that supports the EU’s climate and sustainable development agenda
 . In April 2019\, the European Parliament endorsed legislation including
  the regulation on disclosures relating to sustainable investments and s
 ustainability risks. In addition\, it adopted conditions and a framework
  for a unified classification system (“taxonomy”) regarding sustainable 
 economic activities. In addition\, the Basel Committee on Banking Superv
 ision published principles for the effective management and supervision 
 of climate-related financial risks in 2022.\n\nIn view of recent develop
 ments\, this expert panel aims to provide an overview of current regulat
 ory activities in the field of sustainable finance. It will discuss the 
 possible effects of these developments on the financial system as well a
 s the challenges and opportunities they present. Moreover\, the panel wi
 ll offer a platform to discuss what role supervisory authorities and cen
 tral banks should take\, or – in other words – “How green do supervision
  and regulation need to be?”   \n\nContents\nOverview of current regulat
 ory developments and initiatives \nDiscussion of the effects on financia
