To make this possible, however, the private sector must make a firm commitment to the sustainable agenda, leading to decisive, long-term investment in firms that develop clean technologies. These were the points emphasized by speakers at the 3rd BBVA Sustainability Forum, which the bank held in the auditorium of Ciudad BBVA, Madrid, Spain, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsjBBZyLCxo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">with a livestream feed</a>. 'Opportunity' was a key word in almost every speech.]]>
