This Bootcamp event explores key developments in the EU sustainable finance agenda, including recent policy achievements, the evolving role of transition tools and plans, and developments across banking, asset management, and (re)insurance.
It will also reflect on the shifting sustainability narrative—highlighting that, amid fluctuating geopolitical focus, sustainability must remain a core priority not only as a moral imperative, but also as a financial one.
The session will consider the EU Omnibus Package and take stock of overall progress, offering members timely insights, regulatory updates, and practical considerations relevant to their day-to-day work.
