Knoche was joined on the panel by representatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Rothschild & Co, Brazil's National Bank for Economic and Social Development, Banque de France and the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), who all said investment in new nuclear projects requires political consensus that is currently absent from some debates on sustainable finance.
