What is the future of Europe's Green Deal? How will the new European Commission and Parliament take forward the agenda and how should business respond? I am honoured to be delivering a keynote to address these questions at the Bold Future 2024 Conference in Prague next Tuesday 12 November, with my good colleagues at Frank Bold. I very much look forward to joining my fellow speakers Pavel Franc Chief Executive, Frank Bold, Martin Sedlak program director, Union of Modern Energy, Lukáš Vlček Minister of Industry and Trade, Pavlína Žáková Deputy Minister for European Affairs and Tomas Sedlacek economist. This is the second Bold Future Conference and will give Czech business and other stakeholders a unique opportunity to explore Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) and specific developments in energy and real estate.

Celebrated each year on October 14th, World Standards Day celebrates the professionals that work tirelessly to create voluntary technical agreements that are published as International Standards. The International Standards system is built on collaboration and the idea that by “working together, we are empowering people with real-world solutions to face sustainability challenges head-on.” (https://lnkd.in/dCbpC6y) By implementing International Standards, businesses help to ensure interoperability, security, and sustainability, fostering global collaboration to accelerate innovation through AI. As a business who choses to use international standards, you become part of the global solution for peace, prosperity, and the welfare of both people and the planet, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year's World Standards Day is spotlighting SDG 9 that focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and fostering innovation.

‘Reasons for optimism - How we can shift capital flows and accelerate change.’ In partnership with INFINZ, CSF was pleased to welcome international experts Sean Kidney, Co-founder and CEO, Climate Bonds Initiative, Mushtaq Kapasi, Managing Director, Chief Representative Asia Pacific - ICMA - International Capital Market Association and Kristy Graham, Chief Executive Australian Sustainable Finance Institute to share their insights about global trends and innovation in sustainable finance and reasons for optimism. Key takeaways from the discussion: - Direction of travel = Country-level transition plans, accompanied by investment plans. - Traditional success metric has been the size of the green bond market - but investors and governments are now looking more at the overall impact of these instruments and their investments. - For taxonomies and disclosure standards - usability is key and clarity of purpose is helpful for designing usable tools.
