This forum, held in Beijing on 5 September 2017, aimed to disseminate the findings of G20 Green Finance Study Group presented to the G20 Hamburg Summit, to further promote the mainstreaming of green finance, to discuss specific green finance tools and products such as environmental risk analysis and green bonds, to explore ways to enhance the green preference of investors investing in the Belt & Road region, and to explore new areas of green finance development such as green fintech.

As an important part of the forum, the Environmental Risk Management Initiative for China‘s Overseas Investment was signed by seven industrial associations, which was released on the People’s Bank of China’s website. The initiative was an important move to encourage and catalyze the environmental risk management of China’s overseas financial and investment entities.
