Bridging Sustainability, Technology, and Financial Consumer Protection: New Frontiers for Policy and Practice
5 Dec 2025QUT Gardens Point, Brisbane

Technology is reshaping how sustainability and consumer protection intersect within the financial system. As digital tools accelerate innovation and access, regulators and institutions face new challenges in ensuring that sustainable finance remains transparent, inclusive, and resilient.

To explore these frontiers, the roundtable will convene senior regulators, academics, and industry leaders for a closed-door policy dialogue at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and financial consumer protection.
