That’s a wrap! Thank you for attending this year's OECD - OCDE Forum on Green Finance and Investment! 🌱 Over 1300 of you joined meaningful conversations on green and sustainable finance issues, made possible with support from our sponsors and media partnersand. What were some of the key takeaways? 🚧 Public investments including in climate actions must be paired with robust monitoring, transparency and auditing requirements to ensure funds are spent cost-effectively. 🔎 Aligning portfolios to net-zero goals does not inherently equate to real-world greenhouse gas reductions, highlighting the need for science-based frameworks and more comprehensive data to inform risk analysis and investment decisions. 🌍 Biodiversity finance can also be understood, and promoted, as finance for (environmental and economic) resilience. 🤝 Governments are uniquely positioned to be drivers of change, using policy and investment to address market limitations and ensure that climate goals are met comprehensively and equitably. 📉 Investment in emerging economies will need to at least quadruple by 2030. To meet this goal, private investors will need to take advantage of growing financing opportunities in emerging countries, and policy makers will need to take actions to facilitate investment. 🏭 Around 2-3% of global finance is dedicated to climate, with less than 3% of this targeting industry decarbonisation. Given that industry accounts for almost a third of global GHG emissions, further investment needs to be mobilised to tackle the issue. Special thanks to our speakers from the financial industry, policymaking, academia and civil society who took part in action-oriented discussions on strengthening enabling environments to mobilise finance.

Yesterday, following weeks of speculation and leaks, the EU Commission published the omnibus packages of proposals on sustainability and investment simplification. These are proposals to amend the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Morningstar Sustainalytics', Senior Director, Product Management, ESG Products, has been following these rapid developments and provides her insights on what it means for companies and investors. Read the article here Key insights include: 🏢 Companies with over 1,000 employees and more than EUR 450 million in turnover (USD 473 million) will continue to report on their EU Taxonomy key performance indicators (KPIs). Companies below this threshold will not fall in scope of mandatory taxonomy reporting. ➖ The scope of companies reporting on CSRD will be reduced by 80% and a “stop-the-clock” measure will postpone reporting for companies that are due to report in 2025 and 2026. A more reduced and streamlined standard will be developed. ⚖️ The CSDDD will see changes to its civil liability rules, penalties, and due diligence revisions interval. Only direct business partners are, in principle, within scope for due diligence. …meer

In 2024, many high-emitting companies across the EU scaled back or delayed deadlines for achieving carbon reduction targets through 2030 and many early-stage projects to scale low-carbon technologies were scrapped. Morningstar Sustainalytics’ Stewardship Team were keen to get to the bottom of what was going on in the region, so in November 2024,, Engagement Manager, Stewardship, and, Engagement Manager, Stewardship, embarked on a field trip to learn how EU industry leaders were navigating the complex challenges of the energy transition. Based on their visit to green energy facilities in Germany, France, and Spain, they found that: 🧱 EU companies face structural barriers to their decarbonization efforts, including those related to EU subsidies, high interest rates, lack of customer commitment, and lack of manufacturing capacity. 🗣️ Despite these obstacles, the companies engaged with on this trip, such as BASF, Iberdrola, Air Liquide, and Acerinox, have remained committed to their net zero ambitions - investing in low-carbon technologies and projects, engaging with policymakers, and strategically positioning themselves within low-carbon value chains. ♟️ Bold and coordinated action from policymakers, industry leaders, and investors is needed to address these challenges, if the goal of a sustainable and resilient energy system in the EU is to be achieved.
