ICMA Brussels Roundtable: Update on regulatory and market standards in Sustainable Finance
The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) was pleased to invite EU and national policymakers, regulators, and the policy community to an exclusive afternoon roundtable discussion session at our Brussels office.
This interactive roundtable discussion on Sustainable Finance focused on:
1. The proposed review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ("SFDR 2.0") - a milestone legislation for the ESG focused investments and fund industry in the EU (see ICMA's position paper);
2. ICMA's recently released Climate Transition Bond Guidelines (CTBG) which introduce a standalone Climate Transition Bond label designed to help (re)finance critical projects for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, especially from those in high-emitting sectors and/or with high-emitting activities.
The roundtable was led jointly by ICMA’s Sustainable Finance Team, moderated by ICMA’s Deputy CEO Nicholas Pfaff with a presentation by ICMA’s Director Özgür Altun, and key policy and market stakeholders as panellists.
