Joint webinar

How to build a credible green bond market

Join Accountancy Europe and EACB for a webinar on how to build a credible green bond market.

With the European Green Deal, the European Commission (EC) sets Europe on a path to become climate neutral by 2050. Achieving this objective requires massive investments and green bonds are a key tool to help channel funds towards green projects. 

The European Green Bond Standard (EUGBS) for EU green bonds issuance introduces requirements aiming at reducing uncertainties for issuers and investors and bringing credibility to the green bond market. Together with our speakers, we will debate the proposal’s key elements and related issues as well as how to build a credible green bond market. 

Our speakers:

  • Sven Gentner, Head of Unit Asset Management, European Commission
  • Paul Tang, MEP, (S&D/NL)
  • Wim Bartels, Chair Sustainability Policy Group, Accountancy Europe & Partner, KPMG
  • Miguel García de Eulate, Financial markets, UNACC
  • Paula Redondo Pereira, Head of Regulatory Affairs, Luxembourg Stock Exchange
  • Marieke van Berkel, Head of Retail Banking, Payments, Digitalisation & Financial Markets, EACB
  • Noémi Robert, Director, Accountancy Europe
