Climate change has been felt by the Indonesian people today, such as: increasing rain varieties and intensity, rising sea levels, and other ecological losses. On the other hand, the phenomenon of environmental damage caused by the company’s operational activities causes the risk of the company being fined and even closed by the Government, causing the company to default. Therefore, banks currently have strict regulations regarding green loans to prevent bad debts. Based on this phenomenon, the Bachelor of Accounting Study Program has held a public lecture on the topic of Climate Change and Sustainable Finance on February 14, 2020 at 08.30-12.30 in the Hall of Building 9, Faculty of Economics, Parahyangan Catholic University. The event began with the opening by Dr. Budiana Gomulia, Dra., M.Si (Dean of the Faculty of Economics, UNPAR) and presentation of material by Ms. Poppy Ismalina, M.Ec.Dev., Ph.D (Senior Policy Advisor in Sustainable Finance at International Finance Corporation (IFC)) and Dr. Paulina Permatasari, SE, M.Ak, CMA, CSRS, CSRA (Chairperson of the Accounting Department), with moderator Mr. Agustinus Susilo, SE, M.Ak., Ak.
