Regulation and disclosure requirements for the financial sector are on the rise, and commitments to the net zero transition are increasing. Daniel Bouzas Luis, regional coordinator for Europe at the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative, speaks with Emma McGarthy, head of OMFIF’s Sustainable Policy Institute, about the development of UN-convened net zero alliances, the role of European institutions in the global sustainability transition and the European Union’s green taxonomy. They discuss commitments, successes and challenges for sustainable finance, including closing data gaps and increasing disclosure frameworks.
