International Finance Forum Kicks off Annual Green Finance Award Selection on World Environment Day

The International Finance Forum (IFF) will start accepting applications for the annual IFF Global Green Finance Award.

Echoing the theme of World Environment Day ,'Only One Earth', which stresses on  the need to change through policy changes and our choices to live in harmony with nature in a sustainable way, the IFF Global Green Finance Award is targeting  applicants offering green financial solutions that promote the transformation of economic growth modes, contribute to pollution prevention and control and address climate change, as well as improve energy efficiency, energy conservation and emission reductions.

This year's award is a global call for innovations and application practices in policy, system, industry, services, technology and talent building.

The IFF Global Green Finance Award was launched by the IFF in 2020, and is judged by a panel of 25 globally influential and authoritative financial leaders and elites from the financial and environmental sectors. In 2022, the award will include 10 Innovation Awards for innovative projects and 10 Annual Awards for institutions. 

Annual Awards for Institutions are granted to institutions that have made outstanding contributions to global, regional or national sustainable development through green finance practices, including achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, addressing climate change and biodiversity conservation. The green finance business of the institutions must be sustainable and profitable.

Innovation Awards for Innovative Projects are granted to projects that demonstrate significant innovation in the field of green finance, in particular those that have made significant contributions to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, addressing climate change and promoting biodiversity conservation.
