Webinar: "Tokyo—Unlocking Opportunities for Asia’s Green Finance"
(Held on Monday, November 22, 2021, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM)

FinCity.Tokyo will host a webinar titled "Tokyo—Unlocking Opportunities for Asia's Green Finance" on Monday, November 22, 2021, starting at 18:00.

In recent years, Tokyo has been establishing itself as a hub for green finance, and the Japanese government's declaration of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is providing a tailwind.
Green bond issuance in Tokyo has more than doubled in the first quarter of 2021 alone compared to the previous year, and is expected to see unprecedented growth this fiscal year. As Tokyo's green finance market grows rapidly, we will delve into how to attract overseas issuers and investors, and what is needed to further cultivate this momentum.
This event will be held in a panel discussion format, inviting green finance issuers and experts to explore the strategic importance of Tokyo, the world's largest city, as an international green finance center for Asia.
