Rob Schuwerk, Interim Director in North America, is co-chairing the Financial Times’ Climate Finance Summit in New York.

Rob will be moderating the panel discussion: Expanding Climate Finance. The Role of Central Banks and Financial Regulators. The session will focus on how financial regulators and central banks affect climate finance and how they can support it’s expansion.

The panel will discuss measures already taken by central banks and financial regulators to align their policies with climate objectives, the extent to which they account for climate criteria in the management of their balance sheets, and how to ensure the implementation of the TCFD recommendations.
