Navigating Sustainable Finance in a Year of Change

Join BwB in Madrid at the LMA European Loan Markets Conference, 'Mobilising The Market', for a forward-looking conversation on how major political and economic developments around the world are reshaping the future of sustainable finance.

BwB Managing Director and Global Head of Nature & Biodiversity and Gender Finance, Heather Matson, will chair a high-level panel discussion under the theme 'The Great Recalibration: Navigating Sustainable Finance in a Year of Change'.

The panel will explore:

• Market evolution in recent years
