GABRIEL WEBBER ZIERO - SWISS SUSTAINABLE FINANCE REGULATION

Swiss financial institutions, authorities, and civil society are closely monitoring the sustainable finance regulatory revolution taking place. According to the Institute of International Finance, the uptake of sustainable finance by regulators equals or even exceeds the regulatory response following the 2008 global financial crisis. Participants joining this workshop will gain an overview of the latest regulatory trends and triggers in the area of sustainable finance regulation and their impact on the Swiss Financial Industry.

The workshop will be led by Dr. Gabriel Webber Ziero, LL.M., a senior consultant at ECOFACT specialized in strategic regulatory compliance in the areas of sustainable finance and corporate responsibility as well as Head of ECOFACT Policy Outlook. In this context, Gabriel has supported financial institutions in understanding and acting upon regulatory requirements as well as contributed to the work of organizations like the OECD, Swiss Bankers Association, and Swiss Sustainable Finance. Gabriel is licensed to practice as an attorney-at-law in Brazil and holds a doctorate in International and European Law from Roma Tre University (Italy), as well as an LL.M. from Leiden University (Netherlands). He is a lecturer at the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Sustainable Finance program of the University of Zurich.
