SMU Visiting Professor DSM Senior Fellow in Partnership and Sustainability Simon Zadek, who is also the Co-Director of the UN Environment Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System, commented on the “Collaborative Initiative on Green Finance in Singapore”. The initiative was led by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs and was convened in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System, which lent international expertise on the subject. He said, “Singapore’s commitment to advancing sustainable finance is welcome given its importance as a global and regional financial hub. UN Environment has been proud to support this initiative that will help to create the knowledge, collaborative and innovative foundations for Singapore to lead in aligning finance with the 2030 Agenda,” he added.
