Secondly, Luxembourg shares with AIIB the willingness to take climate change seriously. Compared with traditional multilateral development banks, the AIIB with the motto "lean, clean and green" offers a very modern approach to addressing climate change, Gramegna noted.

"If we do not embark on sustainable development, if we do not try to save countries with a low standard of living through sustainable investment, if we don't do these things well, climate change will make sure that the temperature would rise above two degrees and that our planet may basically not survive," Gramegna warned.

In his view, since all AIIB members are signatories to the Paris Agreement, it's necessary to work together to prevent global warming.

Thirdly, Luxembourg is the second largest home for investment funds after the United States, managing totally more than 5 trillion U.S. dollars, which means all this money can be tapped to help the AIIB achieve its objective, said Gramegna.

Gramegna is particularly proud of the prosperous green bond market in Luxembourg as an important international financial center, noting that the European Investment Bank (EIB) based in Luxembourg issued the world's first green bond in 2007 and Luxembourg Green Exchange, the largest platform exclusively dedicated to sustainable finance, was launched in 2016.

"So you see, we are pioneers in this field since the beginning and we continue to innovate," he said, calling for increasing the share of sustainable investment funds in the financial market.
