IAG and NAB are co-hosting a sustainable finance conference with the United Nations.

UN Environment Program Finance Initiative Head Eric Usher will address the conference, as will Munich Re Chief Climate and Geoscientist Ernst Rauch and Roelfien Kuijpers, Head of Responsible Investment and Strategic Relationships at consultancy DWS Group.

The conference, in Sydney today and tomorrow, will explore how banking, insurance and investment practice can support the transition to a resilient, sustainable economy.

It will create a taskforce to develop a “sustainable finance roadmap” for Australia and New Zealand.
