FinCity.Tokyo (General Incorporated Association Tokyo International Financial Institution) will host the international symposium "FinCity Global Forum: Transition Finance – Tokyo's Challenge" on Thursday, February 2, 2023.

Expanding transition finance is essential for realizing a decarbonized society. Against the backdrop of the Ukraine situation and worsening supply constraints, the importance of transition is growing as global reassessments of climate change strategies advance. Tokyo, as an international financial center in Asia with a concentration of manufacturing, is expected to share understanding with Asia on transition finance while also serving as a bridge to Europe and the United States.
This forum will explore future prospects and challenges requiring joint public-private sector efforts. Discussions will incorporate perspectives stemming from issues like supply chain finance development and digital financial technology applications, featuring leading policymakers and practitioners from Japan and abroad.
