Investing in change

The Sustainability Forum Middle East is right around the corner and Standard Chartered Bank has been announced as the Strategic Partner for the upcoming third edition.

The Forum will be held on January 28-29 in the presence of HE Dr Mohamed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, the Minister of Oil and Environment, Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, and with the support of the Supreme Council for Environment. This year’s focus will be on ‘Mobilizing Action and Investment for Climate and Energy Resilience’ and the bank’s partnership for a third year reflects its active role in promoting climate action within the private sector and reinforces its commitment to initiatives aimed at accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future.

 Senior executives from the bank are set to join a diverse group of more than 400 senior financial leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts at the event. Speaking at the Forum is Dr Boutros Klink, CEO of Bahrain, who will join a panel to discuss ‘Scaling Climate Finance – From Market Innovation to Mobilising Private Capital’. Meanwhile Lina Osman, the regional head,  of sustainable finance – Africa & MENAP, will take part on a panel focused on ‘Navigating Compulsory Carbon Markets and Cross-Border Tax Regimes’, exploring how financial institutions can help businesses adapt to evolving carbon regulations and align with sustainability standards.

 A range of themes central to driving the region’s net-zero journey will feature on this year’s programme from the need to ramp up financing to policy developments and regulations, to strategies for innovation, technology advancements, and more. The Forum will also again feature a series of practical hands-on learning workshops over the two-day period, all designed to raise awareness, drive collaboration, and mobilise action and investment to achieve regional climate and energy resilience.

 Other partners include Al Areen Holding, Bapco Energies, Benefit, Gulf Air and more.
