A major problem in the development of green finance and inclusive finance is that green finance is not inclusive enough and inclusive finance is not green enough. For example, green loans are mainly used to support large-scale projects like infrastructure, energy, environment protection while provides less support to vulnerable groups such as farmers, self-employed individuals, and small and micro enterprises. For small and medium-size banks that focus on inclusive finance, the proportion of green credit is still relatively low. What should be done to promote the integration of green finance and inclusive finance？ In this session, the panelists will focus on this question and discuss about the green taxonomies, the establishment of the disclosure system, and the design of financial products.

The 19th NCCPC proposed a rural revitalization strategy, insisting on giving priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas. The strategy encourages rural people to return to their hometowns to start businesses and industrial and commercial capital to go to the rural areas. Does this contradict the promotion of urbanization? At present, China's urbanization rate is 64%, which is still far behind the developed countries. Does the proposal of the rural revitalization strategy mean that the urbanization process will slow down? This will be the focus of this session.

The international situation is becoming more and more complicated, and energy prices continue to rise. Against this backdrop, will global climate action slow down? Or is the high price forcing transformation and accelerating the“de-fossil energy”? Energy supply in China is dominated by coal. How to advance in an orderly manner to achieve the“dual carbon”goal? What role can financial institutions play in this process? This will be the focus of this panel discussion.
