2025 Lujiazui Forum: Plenary Session VIII: Improving the Green Finance Policy, Standards, and Product System
Conference - Shanghai
Innovations in the field of green finance are actively contributing to ecological environment improvement, climate change mitigation, and efficient resource utilization, and playing an active role in advancing sustainable economic development. Currently, the development of green finance is still facing numerous challenges, such as difficulties in coordinating green policies, inconsistent green standards, insufficient incentives for green finance innovation, and suboptimal trading market mechanisms, thus requiring concerted efforts from stakeholders to take actions and make improvements. How can the policy system and the market practice of green finance mutually reinforce each other to drive green and low-carbon economic development? How can the coordination and alignment between international green finance standards be strengthened to facilitate the consistent application of green standards? How can green financial products and services be innovated to meet the diverse financing needs of green industries and projects? How can incentive and compliance mechanisms be refined to enhance the resilience of financial institutions and encourage more social capital to participate in green investment?
