There will be a ‘green bonds insight’ event at the Responsible Investor Americas 2014 conference on 10 December from 12:15 to 16:00. Folks from sell & buy sides, local governments and NGOs will discuss:
The seminar is targeted at finance, public and education sectors. Organised by SUST4IN, a Madrid based network of sustainability experts, it’s 'invite only' but you can request an invitation via the event website – or simply let us know and we will see what we can do.
