Join us in the upcoming launch event in Madrid of the EU-China Sustainable Finance Forum.
About this Event

Our Association is promoting EU-China cooperation in the field of Climate Action. Sustainable Finance as a driver of systemic change has as its main aim to kickstart a discussion about the opportunities for cooperation between the EU and China to combat climate change.

This event has been organised by EU-China Trust with the support of the City Councils of both Hefei and Salamanca. The event counts also with the support of both the Spanish embassy in China, the Chinese embassy in Spain, and the European Commission’s representative office in Madrid. During the event a panel of key representatives from the public sector, industry, and academia will take the floor to introduce the progress achieved on the field of green finance in both the EU and China and to explore ways in which both sides can cooperate.

Global problems require global solutions!
