Sustainable Finance Regulatory Update
2024 started with the news that for the first-time global warming exceeded 1.5C across an entire year (February 2023 to January 2024)1.
This will undoubtedly put more pressure on private capital to accelerate the global transition in order to slow global warming. With that pressure will come regulation.
With that in mind, we have created Sustainability Assembled, our new regulatory tracker, to highlight key regulatory updates which affect the loan market as well as changes to ESG standards and major developments in the ESG sector.
In addition, we have established a dedicated Sustainable Finance Regulatory Committee to gather our members’ expertise as we navigate the wave of sustainable finance regulation rolling across EMEA, and to ensure the loan market can continue to operate effectively and deliver liquidity for the transition with the required urgency. For information on our recent responses to regulatory consultations, see here.
Your engagement on this topic is paramount and we therefore invite you to join our discussion on regulatory issues relating to sustainable finance.
