Registrations now open

ESMT Berlin | In-person event only, registration and welcome coffee starts at 8:30 a.m.

The Societal Impact Financing Initiative (SciFi) at the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT), a leading global business school with its campus in the heart of Berlin, organizes the Expert Forum Adaptation and Mitigation Finance. With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, our event brings together leading international climate finance scholars, policy stakeholders, investors, development finance institutions and foundations. The Expert Forum Adaptation and Mitigation Finance takes place just one day prior to the World Bank conference on Climate Finance, Innovate4Climate, which takes place in Berlin this year. 

We recommend booking accommodation early, as our event coincides with the World Bank conference and IFA and high demand for hotels is to be expected.
