to discuss how to grow green bonds - and theunderlying activity needed to transform oureconomies - commensurate with the hugechallenge of addressing climate change.
The conference had now grown from just 100
participants four years ago into what is now
the world's largest green finance conference.
Across three lively, highly interactive,
and future-focused days we heard from 145
speakers in 20 sessions, including a series ofnine in-depth Roundtables.

We are expecting demand to easily top 1,000
