This COP26 EU side event session revolves around two main themes as building blocks for the green transition. First, it discusses the challenges related to its financing, with a specific focus on green bonds as the most successful instrument of climate finance so far. Then, the session tackles the risks and opportunities that the green transition presents for developing economies. Including developing countries in the ecological transition is crucial for guaranteeing that the Paris Agreement objectives are reached by the middle of the Century.
