Since early 2020, COVID-19 has been dominating our life, and still poses unsolved threats to health, welfare and the economy. But at the same time, another crisis is challenging the future of our planet and is calling for feasible solutions: The Climate Crisis.

The  consideration of ESG criteria – Environment, Social, Governance – as well as linking business operations to be Paris-aligned, are constantly gaining importance.

Businesses have to be able to identify the risks, but also potential opportunities that climate change and its adaption and mitigation potential are imposing on them.

We have therefore decided to host an entire FUTURE EUROPE WEEK for the first time in 2021. Conferences will focus on banking & finance, industry, fashion, energy, sports and digitalisation.

Lastly, given G20 finance’s central role of the G20 process, FUTURE EUROPE is bringing together pioneering issuers, investors and policy makers from Asia, Europe and the Americas, ahead of the G20 3rd Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Venice on 9-10 July to consider next steps for global coordination towards our common sustainable future.
