Details

Since the EU's sustainable finance agenda launched in 2018, initiatives like the EU Taxonomy, EU Green Bond Standard, and disclosure regulations have positioned the EU as a leader in climate action. Yet, achieving the 2050 net zero target remains uncertain:

• Should the focus shift from ‘becoming green’ rather ‘being green’ ?
• Is emphasising transition finance and mandatory transition plans for all sectors the key to EU’s pragmatic transition agenda?
• How can we finance the decarbonisation of the EU’s building stock?
