IE University Co-hosts COP27 Panel Focused on Sovereign Wealth Funds
Event aims to promote sustainability transformation by advancing SDG/ESG integration in SWFs.
During the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt, IE University, together with the UN Joint SDG Fund, hosted the event “COP27: SDG Acceleration through Sovereign Wealth Funds.” The event, which took place on November 9 at the COP27 DESA SDG Pavilion, gathered together Sovereign Wealth Fund executives from Egypt, Morocco and Spain, global asset managers, and philanthropists, to find ways to accelerate investments in the SDGs, specifically through SWF commitments and partnerships with private asset managers.
The overall aim of the event was to continue building a community of SWFs that fosters sustainability transformation by advancing SDG/ESG integration in SWFs and to identify practical solutions, tools, and best practices to ease SWFs to invest in the SDGs, mainly in developing countries. Furthermore, the mandate and investment horizon of SWFs (i.e., inter-generational by nature) makes them well-suited to supporting SDG-aligned investments, in particular green finance.
