About the Event
The event will take place on 14 November 2024, at 14:30 (GMT) at

During the UN Global Compact Leaders' Summit 2024, CEO Sanda Ojiambo
emphasised the transformative potential of the global private
financial assets, valued at 200 trillion USD. She highlighted the
need for innovative mechanisms to unlock this capital, particularly
in emerging markets with financing gaps. The event aims to advance
the dialogue on how capital markets can deliver both economic
returns and long-term environmental resilience, echoing the UN's
call for the financial sector to lead in creating a sustainable
future.
