The urgent need to prioritize sustainable finance as a key driver of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, including and beyond environment climate-related goals, has been recognized by more and more parties. For example, the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group has included mechanisms to enhance SDG finance as one of its focus areas in 2023.
This GFLP program celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Mongolian Sustainable Finance Initiative, a globally recognized example of public-private-international partnership efforts to promote and scale up sustainable finance. The program consists of plenary and deep-dive breakout sessions on a diverse range of trending sustainable finance topics: private sector leadership and policy incentives, sustainability and climate risk disclosure, and emerging topics such as transition finance, social impact finance, financing of nature-based solutions through technology, and the role of national green banks.
The event is expected to bring together more than 400 participants including global sustainable finance practitioners, experts, thought leaders, investors, and SBFN members. Through the open dialogue facilitated by the program, participants will have an opportunity to draw on good international practices while reflecting on national contexts and priorities, exchange ideas, and explore collective actions toward a more stable and sustainable financial system.
The event will be organized primarily in English. Participants will be issued certificates of completion after fully attending the GFLP Programme on Day 1 & 2. Online participation options will also be available for members that are not able to travel to Ulaanbaatar.

Session 3: Leveraging sustainable investments through policy incentives and risk sharing |
|
|
To scale up sustainable investments from the private sector to achieve the SDGs and the Paris targets, policy incentives and de-risking tools have been recognized to have an important role to play, such as measures discussed under the G20 SFWG. Policy makers can use a range of tools, including both pricing and non-pricing based ones, to shape sustainable finance markets. This session will discuss the critical role of financial regulators and policymakers and draw upon examples and evidence from countries such as China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mongolia, Georgia, and Europe, as well as collective experiences from networks such as NGFS. |

Session 4: Role of national green financial institutions and blended finance |
|
|
To bridge the financing gap for climate action and accelerate progress toward achieving the SDGs, blended finance and green financial institutions can play an important role in catalyzing private investment, reduce risk, and enhance the viability of sustainable businesses and projects. On the other hand, promoting these financing mechanisms will require more expertise to structure and implement blended finance transactions, improved private-public partnership, and strengthened institutional frameworks. This session will discuss the critical role of green FIs and blended finance building on experiences from Asia and Africa, and potential policy interventions to create enabling environments for these solutions. |

Session 5: Measuring and disclosing climate-related risks and impacts |
|
|
The call for global standards on climate and sustainability disclosure and impact measurement tools has led to significant progresses (such as the ISSB and TNFD) that aim to standardize the disclosure reporting by financial institutions and companies, and prevent green/social-washing risks. However, the market adoption of these standards requires collective efforts including the development of various tools, methodologies, capacity building, and awareness-raising activities. This session will discuss the implications of sustainability disclosure requirements on local markets, especially in developing countries and the actions required by various stakeholders to ensure the smooth adoption and interoperability of existing and emerging frameworks. |

Session 6: Enhancing interoperability of green and sustainable finance taxonomies |
|
|
Green and sustainable finance taxonomies play a crucial role in promoting sustainable investments and transparency and reducing green-washing risks, but as the number of taxonomies keeps growing, there is also strong call for enhanced comparability, interoperability, and consistency in sustainability reporting, providing a standardized framework for defining, measuring, and reporting on sustainability issues. Therefore, aligning taxonomies can enhance transparency and disclosure and reduce the cost and complexity of data collection and analysis, which may attract investors to pursue sustainable investments. Investors can make more informed investment decisions, identify opportunities for sustainable investing, and promote the integration of sustainability considerations into investment decision-making processes. This session will discuss strategies and practical measures to harmonize emerging taxonomies. |

|
|
The recent development of digital platforms, blockchain-based systems, climate data analytics, and sustainable fintech startups are signaling great potential to catalyze the transformation of financial systems towards greater sustainability, including and beyond climate, such as nature and biodiversity. Integrating these technological solutions into existing financing mechanisms can increase the efficiency of financial systems by enabling automated collection, analysis, and reporting of ESG metrics, and enhance greater accountability by providing a consistent record of financial data. This session will discuss future applications of these technologies in real-life to contribute towards broader SDGs. |
