There is an urgent need to scale up sustainable finance and investment that supports just and resilient transitions. Financial markets are not sufficiently aligned with the goal of socially just and ecologically sustainable economies. In their current form, they continue to finance environmentally harmful activities, exacerbate economic inequality, and perpetuate systemic instability. At the same time, the financial sector fails to mobilise the large-scale investments necessary for just and resilient transitions. While these deficits are of global importance, countries in the Global South are particularly affected and face large financing gaps that threaten to worsen existing vulnerabilities.

Against this backdrop, this workshop discusses new research findings on policies and approaches for reorienting financial markets towards just and resilient transitions. In addition to fostering exchange between researchers, the workshop also offers the opportunity to discuss research findings with policymakers and practitioners from the financial sector. Research presented at the workshop either analyses trends and developments in countries in the Global South or examines the impacts of global frameworks or policies in other jurisdictions on these countries. In particular, the workshop focuses on the following topics:

  • Sustainable finance disclosures and taxonomies
  • Digital sustainable finance
  • Inclusive green finance
  • The role of public development banks in fostering sustainable investment
  • Investment for climate resilience
  • Equity in sustainable investment planning
