Welcome to Sustainable Finance Lab’s yearly Partner Day.
Forest

Time: May 15th, 08:30 – 13:30 including lunch

Venue: KTH in Stockholm (Gradängsalen, Teknikringen 1)

Policymakers, companies and financial market actors are all impacted by the current geopolitical landscape marked by protectionism, heightened tensions and increased uncertainty. This is manifested in the new US Administration’s declaration to once again pull out of the Paris Climate Accord, as well as the turbulence surrounding the European Union’s  sustainability regulations. The Omnibus proposal, expected to propose streamlining of the Taxonomy, CSRD, and CSDDD may in fact scale back and/or hinder progress on globally set sustainability targets, relating to climate goals, biodiversity and social issues.

The impact of the proposed changes on sustainable finance efforts is likely to be profound as sustainable investments rely heavily on robust regulatory frameworks to ensure transparency, mitigate risks, and prevent greenwashing. The EU’s leadership in this area has been pivotal in setting global standards and the potential dilution of sustainability regulations could undermine investor confidence and slow the momentum towards integrating environmental, social, and governance criteria into financial decision-making. This would, in turn, risk significantly undermining global efforts to transition towards sustainable economies and societies.

In this SFL Partner Day, we explore what the new geopolitical environment and backsliding in EU sustainability regulations may mean for sustainable finance.
