UN group helping green financing

The World Green Economy Organization, supported by the United Nations Development Program, unveiled a financial platform on Friday in Beijing. The platform, called the Financial Sector Platform, is set up to mobilize investments for energy efficiency initiatives and support the efforts of public and private sector enterprises in combating climate change and making the world greener. "China has launched an ambitious domestic program to develop a green financial system and is placing green finance as one of the priorities of its G20 presidency. As such, China was the chosen destination to launch this effective platform," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, chairman of the WGEO.
