The fourth edition of the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum (ADSFF), the flagship event of Abu Dhabi Global Market’s (ADGM), is all set to be held as a carbon-neutral platform.
In order to obtain its carbon neutrality status through an offsetting program, ADGM will collaborate with AirCarbon Exchange (ACX), the world’s first fully digital carbon exchange. The center will purchase carbon credits from a project that works to reduce or absorb carbon emissions.
The ADSFF is a purpose-driven and collective effort platform by the UAE’s financial sector to advance sustainable finance and investment in projects that augment the country’s national climate goals and ambition towards a better and more sustainable future.
The fourth edition of ADSFF is a strategic extension of ADGM’s undertaking in supporting the UAE’s Net-Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiatives and commitment towards a thriving and sustainable economy.
Ahmed Jassim Al Zaabi Chairman – ADGM
“It is ADGM’s mandate and one of its key priorities in facilitating sustainable financing and responsible investments, as well as, addressing climate change and sustainability concerns that affect the financial sector, the economy and the long-term well-being of the UAE. The UAE has always been proactive and forward-thinking in its engagement and actions towards sustainability as demonstrated by its Net Zero 2050 Strategic Initiative and is the convener of COP28.”
ADSFF will convene international government decision-makers, top global institutional investors, regulators, financial institutions, entrepreneurs and innovators to share best practices and discuss industry challenges.
The Forum will also facilitate and spark new areas of cross-border collaborations to increase efforts that promote sustainable financing and accelerate the flow of capital towards sustainable investments and projects.
