Human Rights Dimensions of a Green and Inclusive Financial System
14 December 2014
The UNEP Inquiry is working over 2014-2015 to explore how the rules that govern the financial system – standards, metrics, incentives, regulations – and roles and responsibilities of global and national financial institutions can help better mobilize capital for sustainable development.
On 4 December 2014, IHRB and UNEP convened a multistakeholder discussion to consider:
- how concepts such as “equity” and “inclusiveness” should be understood in the context of the UNEP Inquiry
- whether a human rights focused examination of the rules of financial systems could bring different perspectives that would better promote the goal of sustainable development
