AmCham Shanghai's Environmental Committee and Financial Services Committee invite you to join a presentation and panel discussion on Green Financing on Thursday, March 23 from 8:00-10:00 at the AmCham Shanghai Conference Room.
China has made major commitments to carbon reduction, and, jointly with the United States, formally approved the Paris Climate Agreement before the G20 meeting. It is now moving full speed ahead to establish a green financing mechanism to support the economy's transition to sustainable growth. To this end, guidelines on green finance released by the central bank and six other central authorities contained a suite of innovative concepts mapping out the future path for the country's green financing system. The guidelines will encourage more private investment into green projects. China is already the world's largest green bond market, with green bonds issued in the first half of the year worth 75 billion yuan, or 33 percent of the world's total. The People’s Bank of China estimates that annual investments in the order of 3 percent of the country’s GDP, or RMB 2 trillion ($330 billion), would be needed to overcome these problems from 2015 to 2020.

Wu Qian, Senior Manager, Sustainability and Climate Change, PwC will kick off the event by providing an overview of the green financing landscape in China, followed by a panel of experts including Han Lin, Senior Vice President, Deputy GM Shanghai Branch, Global Banking - China, Wells Fargo Bank, NA Shanghai Branch and Ping Xu, Clean Energy Business Development Director, Q-TZG Financial Leasing Company who will address questions that include:
