Session 1: Financing for Innovations towards Carbon Neutrality

The purpose of this session is to discuss how to promote financing for innovations that can enable the transition to carbon neutrality, e.g., innovations that could transform "brown" technology and activities to "green" especially in but not limited to critical areas like energy and transportation. In addition, this session will include how to promote financing innovation but also how to catalyze action towards carbon neutrality by companies, so that they demand and use these innovations. The existence of these innovations does not guarantee by itself that they would be used, until companies incorporate risks and opportunities around climate change and commit to a decarbonizing journey.
