SUMMARY:International Sustainable Fund Conference
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:According to UNCTAD\, sustainability-focused financial products
  targeting sustainable development-related sectors or themes reached over 
 $5.2 trillion in 2021\, up 63% from 2020. Sustainable funds\, green and so
 cial bonds have become crucial investment vehicles that channel much-neede
 d funding into infrastructure\, health\, education\, climate change mitiga
 tion\, and adaptation.Nevertheless\, sustainable investment is still in it
 s early stages. Sustainable funds and bonds represent only 3% and 1% of gl
 obal funds and bonds assets\, respectively. Developing economies remain so
  far underserved by the sustainable finance market\, with a negligible mar
 ket share in sustainable investment. Meanwhile\, a lack of industry standa
 rds and transparency has given rise to ESG/SDG washing concerns.According
