We are very pleased to announce our partnership with the Banks Association of Türkiye (BAT) for the Türkiye Sustainable Finance Forum, set to take place on Friday, May 10, in Istanbul. Given the importance of sustainable and transition finance on the global policy agenda, and the rapidly evolving regulatory and market landscape, this will be a unique opportunity for public-private sector dialogue on these important topics.

This half-day forum will be dedicated to exploring the pivotal role of sustainable and transition finance in fostering long-term, inclusive economic development towards a net-zero future in Türkiye. We will also discuss progress on financial sector transition planning, and the need for international alignment on policy and regulation to create an enabling environment.

The forum will host prominent policymakers shaping the sustainable finance agenda in Türkiye, and speakers will include C-suite executives from financial institutions actively operating in Türkiye, along with their clients.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
