Panel discussion
In the run up to COP26 and afterwards, banks worldwide committed to net zero pledges. However, since then, questions have been raised about how net zero will be achieved in practice, and whether the transition to a carbon neutral Europe is feasible and what can be done by the end of this decade. Since banks are crucial actors in the European and especially CEE financial system that link the financial sector and the real economy, their strategies and practices will have a direct impact on the green transition.

• Are banks able to tackle the challenges we face - is it their responsibility?
• What can banks do in practice to minimise new risks such as ones arising from climate change, biodiversity, and other sustainability-related factors?
• How can we support the implementation of the net zero pledges?
• What does leadership look like in the banking sector on climate-related issues or sustainability?
• What can regulators, policymakers and supervisors do that would be helpful for the banking sector?
• Is there a need and a market for new “sustainable” financial products?
