Event details
This event is hosted by the Florida bankers Association 

Overview

With the US under Joe Biden re-joining the Paris Agreement, what are the implications for banks and bankers? The SEC and other regulators seem to be following the UK and European lead in terms of requiring financial institutions to identify and disclose climate risks, but what about the opportunities to finance the transition to a more sustainable, low carbon world? Where are banks, bankers, regulators and customers going in the UK, and will the US follow?
