The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (‘AFME’) and Linklaters indicate very significant progress has been made in Europe to build a regulatory framework for sustainable finance, including:
- Developing a disclosure framework for sustainability reporting
- Providing a common classification system of economic activities contributing to sustainability objectives through establishing a Taxonomy; and
- Ensuring that ESG risks are effectively integrated into risk management.
The European Commission (‘EC’) estimates that Europe will need €500bn in additional investment annually over this decade to meet its 2030 environmental goals.
The Global Financial Markets Association (‘GFMA’) estimates the funding need at $100tn-$150tn over the next three decades to support the decarbonization of ten sectors representing 75% of global carbon emissions.
