The establishment of the forum was announced at the sustainability conference held at Rockit Vilnius on Tuesday. Representatives of the public and private sector are invited to join it, Invega reported.
“In order for Lithuania to successfully transition to a climate-neutral economy, it is necessary to mobilize funds from both the public sector and private investors. The green financial ecosystem consistently created by the Ministry of Finance and partners increases Lithuania’s attractiveness for those who choose to invest in promising green financial products,” Finance Minister Gintarė Skaistė said in a statement.
According to the minister, the institute should become a reliable partner for everyone who will need information, consultations, coordination of actions in the development of sustainable projects.
“The Sustainable Finance Forum will act as a moderator, helping to focus discussions on the most important issues that require active involvement of the private and public sector and effective cooperation – identifying challenges, finding solutions and implementing them,” said Audrius Šilgalis, head of the Green Finance Institute.
The ministry, business association, higher education institution, companies consulting on sustainability issues have already become members of the forum. In the near future, working groups will be formed, which will discuss sustainability data and their collection, EU regulation, attracting funding, and applying the principle “No significant harm is done”.
