Advancing Net-Zero? The Role of Sustainable Finance Taxonomies Worldwide
Berlin Seminar on Energy, Climate Policy and Sustainable Finance
Retrospect:
Sustainable finance taxonomies can play an important role in sustainable finance frameworks around the globe. They are intended to shift the trillions necessary for the transition to a green economy and facilitate climate action in line with the Paris Agreement. To maximise their impact and to ensure that the implementation remains feasible for companies, better coordination among global taxonomies is needed.
The Research Platform Sustainable Finance (WPSF) in collaboration with DIW Berlin and Climate & Company has hosted an exchange on how various taxonomies worldwide support the transition to climate neutrality. The seminar has addressed the challenges and opportunities in harmonizing these frameworks to enhance global cooperation and effectiveness to make taxonomies work in practice. In the following, you will find four key insights provided by the speakers. Their complete presentation slide decks are linked below.
