Presentation of the conference

Today's world faces major economic, social and environmental challenges. In this context, the question of economic sustainability is at the heart of concerns. The role of finance in sustainable economic development is essential. Financial decisions have a direct impact on companies, industries and national economies. In this context, this conference on "Finance and Sustainable Economic Development" aims to explore the opportunities, challenges and best practices for more responsible and sustainable finance. This meeting will be a unique opportunity for experts, researchers, professionals and decision-makers to share their knowledge and experiences in order to promote sustainable economic development for all.
Finance plays a key role in sustainable economic development. It makes it possible to allocate financial resources efficiently and equitably by promoting investment in sustainable economic activities. Financial institutions have a crucial role to play in financing environmentally friendly projects, supporting socially responsible businesses and promoting transparent corporate governance. The engagement of financial actors in sustainable practices can stimulate innovation, create new business opportunities and contribute to economic growth while preserving natural resources and improving social conditions.
Although sustainable finance is a laudable goal, there are many challenges that need to be addressed for its effective implementation. Among these challenges, we can cite the need to develop appropriate financial instruments that integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, transparency and disclosure of information, measurement of the financial and extra-financial impact of sustainable investments, as well as awareness and education of financial actors and investors. This conference will provide an ideal platform to discuss these challenges, exchange ideas and formulate recommendations for sustainable finance that is more effective and adapted to current needs.
Despite the challenges, many emerging initiatives and best practices show that sustainable finance is not only feasible, but also beneficial for financial actors and society as a whole. Approaches such as impact investing, green finance, sustainable bonds and financial sustainability indices offer attractive investment opportunities while contributing to sustainable economic development. This conference will explore these best practices, analyze emerging opportunities and identify the levers needed to stimulate the transition to broader sustainable finance.
Sustainable finance is a global issue that requires international cooperation. Exchanges of experiences, joint initiatives and coordinated policies are essential to establish an appropriate regulatory and normative framework that promotes sustainable finance. Governments, international organizations, financial actors and investors all have a role to play in this cooperation. This conference will allow us to discuss these issues and formulate proposals for increased collaboration in the field of sustainable finance.
Finance and sustainable economic development are closely linked and offer a unique opportunity to create a prosperous and sustainable future for all. This conference on "Finance and Sustainable Economic Development" will be an opportunity to bring together experts, researchers, professionals and decision-makers to discuss opportunities, challenges and best practices in the field of sustainable finance. We hope that this meeting will make it possible to identify concrete solutions for more responsible and sustainable finance, which will contribute to sustainable and equitable economic development for all.
