In the second part of the Side Event, Prof. Dr. Dirk Andreas Zetzsche will present how UN SDGs and sustainable finance regulation could overcome some of those most pressing challenges faced by asset managers and investors. In addition, policy recommendations will be explored with the objective of identifying ways to reorient more private-public capital towards sustainable projects.
