Building Bridges Geneva – the capital of sustainable finance
30.08.2023
From 2 to 5 October 2023, the international Building Bridges Conference will take place in Geneva for the fourth time. This conference brings together the Geneva of international organisations with the financial sector, political authorities and NGOs. Of course, Switzerland is also an important player.
Building Bridges 2023 will host transformative discussions that will shape the global sustainable finance agenda. The event starts with the Building Bridges Summit on the first day. The Summit will convene expert-led discussions to address our most critical and pressing global challenges. The discussions will explore the twin climate and nature crises, widening social inequalities and how to mobilize capital in unprecedented amounts to build a just, resilient, and sustainable future. Over the following days, more than 70 presentations, workshops and other formats will take place with international experts from over 100 organisations and institutions exchanging views on sustainability projects in the financial sector.
The presence of the Swiss Ministry of Finance
In addition to representatives of the financial industry, the Swiss Federal Department of Finance will also be represented in Geneva. State Secretary Daniela Stoffel will address the participants at the Closing Ceremony of Building Bridges on 5 October.

About Building Bridges
Building Bridges is a joint initiative, launched in 2019 by Swiss public authorities, the finance community, the United Nations and other International partners to accelerate the transition to a global economic model aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the core of the initiative is the recognition that the scale and complexity of the transition require “building bridges” between multiple stakeholders in the finance, government, and international development communities. The first edition of Building Bridges took place in October 2019 in Geneva.
