🌍 Building Bridges Towards Sustainable Finance 🌍 This morning at the Building Bridges Conference in Geneva, we convened a group of climate leaders to present the Swiss Finance Initiative supported by a broad coalition of political leaders and civil society leaders across the country to urge the Swiss Federal government to regulate the finance sector. Banks and insurance companies are responsible for 18 times for greenhouse gas emissions than the whole country, when accounting for all the investments linked to fossil fuels and deforestation. It is urgent to ensure that all companies from the finance sector align their portfolios with the Paris Agreement and the Global Biodiversity Framework. We truly believe that we need a stronger regulation to drive meaningful and systemic change in the financial sector, shifting investments towards clean energy access for all, reforestation and nature regeneration. We were honored to have the support and presence of incredible leaders who inspire action: ✨ Mary Robinson – Former President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders Foundation, Planetary Guardians, a tireless advocate for climate justice and co-founder of Project Dandelion. ✨Elise Buckle – CEO of Climate Bridges - WE Build Bridges for Climate & Sustainability, Founder of SHE Builds Bridges for Climate Action, Active Member of Project Dandelion ✨Lauriane Boutboul - Climate Community Manager Climate Bridges - WE Build Bridges for Climate & Sustainability ✨Thilini Liyanage - Climate Policy and Research Lead Climate Bridges - WE Build Bridges for Climate & Sustainability ✨ Simon Berthoud – Co-Lead of Climate Alliance Switzerland on communication and mobilization ✨ Elisabeth Stern – Board Member of the Klima Seniorinenn, Visionary leader who led the legal case urging Switzerland to respect the European Court of Human Rights ruling ✨Anne Mahrer – Co-President of the Klima Seniorinenn Board - Environmental leader and former Member of Parliament ✨ Sandrine Dixson-Declève – The Club of Rome expert and former co-president, championing systemic transformations ✨ Carlos Alvarez Pereira - The Club of Rome Secretary General ✨ Emiliana Rickenmann Montes - Co-Founder of Latinas ✨ Stephan Kellenberger - Deputy Head of Sustainable Finance WWF Switzerland ✨ Jeanne FRANGIE - Expert in sustainability models in the private sector - Business Angel Investor ✨Claire Mizutani, PMP® - ESG Expert ✨Marie-Antoinette Micheli - President of the Swiss Green Alliance ✨Barbora BRUANT GULEJOVA - Science Ambassador - CERN 💡 Together, we are building bridges to a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable financial system.
