Co-organized by GFMA, Green Finance Committee (GFC) of China Society for Finance and Banking under The People’s Bank of China’s (PBOC), this unique symposium convened business leaders, public officials and experts to expand public and private sector understanding, support and collaboration for the creation of a green financial system, and to discuss the broad linkages found between the emerging and developed countries in exploring new opportunities in this critical area.

Following the adoption of the “Paris Agreement,” China’s G20 presidency presented an optimal platform to continue the international initiative towards expanding green finance both locally and globally. In December 2015, the People’s Bank of China announced a policy related to the issuance of green bonds which would accelerate green finance locally. Through collaborative global efforts and policies that facilitate uptake of green finance activity, we can improve the capacity of capital markets to channel investment to green industries. Developing this capacity is essential to meet our common goal of financing sustainable and green growth.

全球金融市场协会(GFMA)和中国人民银行(PBOC)下设的中国金融学会绿色金融专业委员会(CFC) 于2月25日在上海共同举办“绿化金融体系：为可持续发展融资”研讨会。本次特别会议荟萃商界精英、投资者、政府领导以及专家学者，加强官方和私营部门对绿色金融体系的理解、支持和合作， 并探讨发展中国家与发达国家在这个关键领域开拓新机会时的广泛联系。

中国作为今年G20的主席国，适逢《巴黎协议》签订，这是一个绝佳的契机和平台，让中国继续在本地和全球层面推动绿色金融的国际倡议。通过全球通力合作和促进绿色金融政策的推行，我们将能更进一步提升资本市场投资绿色产业的能力，这对我们实现可持续发展融资和绿色增长的共同目标是至关重要的。
