India’s G20 year is raising the profile of sustainable finance in both policy and market practice.

But a significant investment gap still remains if India is to meet its climate and sustainable development goals through a just transition. In this in-person event, Dr Suranjali Tandon will provide the latest insights on financing practices, regulatory reform and policy focus in India to deliver an inclusive and sustainable development.
