The 5th IFC Annual Climate Business Forum 2018 is taking place in the Austrian capital, Vienna. The client-focused event has offered innovators in climate-smart business, investing, and policymaking an excellent chance for new business development, networking, and knowledge exchange. 

 

The Forum has also been a pivotal opportunity to discuss opportunities across industries ranging from climate-smart cities, climate-smart agribusiness, green building, electric transportation, green bonds, and technologies of the future.

 

 

The recent release of the IPCC's report signaling that the warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways will witness irreversible effects has led to further momentum in urging to urgent climate action. Moreover, climate change paves the way for investments that can be facilitated through a collective effort by businesses and governments.
