We hosted a week-long Sustainable Finance Summit in March 2025. It marked Jersey’s five-year countdown to its 2030 sustainable finance vision and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Professionals from across Jersey’s finance industry gathered to hear from expert speakers who discussed ‘The Big Transition – What’s Next? Nature, Climate and the Great Wealth Transfer’, which focussed on and explored the need to navigate to a low-carbon, resilient, circular and resource-efficient economy, one that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs and one where all finance is sustainable finance. The summit tackled some of the largest concerns relating to the transition that are here and on the horizon.
