REDEFINING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY'S SOURCE CODE
Presented by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF)
9:00 - 9:30 am
Sustainable finance aspires to overhaul the global financial landscape by adopting a fresh perspective on a sustainable economy, one that is mindful of its impacts on the environment, biodiversity, labor force, and social inequalities. In an era of transition, new frameworks and standards have emerged to assess progress and enable better-decision-making. Notably, the ISSB Standards have been developed to enable companies to provide comprehensive sustainability information to global capital markets. How is sustainable finance reshaping the global financial industry? In what ways do regulatory frameworks and standards like those of the ISSB serve as the foundation for a resilient economy? Lastly, what obstacles must be surmounted to further accelerate the momentum catalyzed in recent years?
