Banking because the future matters:

Building a Financial System to Support a Green, Fair and Inclusive Economy

Sunday, 17 June 2012, 11.30 13.00

Room: P3-6, Rio Centro
The sad truth is that many of the discussions going on here at Rio+20 will have little impact unless we reform our banking systems. We need a fundamental shift in our finance models to ones that invest in the long-term. The big question is how. We think we have some of the solutions. We will be presenting four practical and realistic policy arenas for reforming our financial system. Join us in room P3-6 at 11.30.
