Good morning, this is Kasmira with your latest Sustainable Business & Finance coverage, which has swapped days with Climate, (now brought to you on Fridays).
Today marks World Habitat Day, a stark reminder that while I sit inside writing this newsletter, protected from the wind and rain, 1.2 billion people lack adequate shelter. So how do we tackle this as well while also creating sustainable cities for the future? This is a topic at the Palais des Nations this week.
Plus, actors from the Swiss finance sector will set out plans this week for scaling up investment in the SDGs by 2030. |
