hi Aya - HNY indeed,
thanks for the info graphic on climate finance - i saw the attached publication by European regulators: an interactive factsheet that answers consumers' most frequently asked questions about sustainable finance re: tips to consumers considering buying financial products with sustainability features, including loans, investments, insurances and pensions.
Secondly - Global Sustainable Investment Review finds US$30 trillion invested in sustainable assets (gsi-alliance.org) 2022 report has some interesting contents and numbers around increase in sustainable investment. Main headlines include:
- $30.3 trillion is invested globally in sustainable investing assets.
- Data published in new GSIA report – Global Sustainable Investment Review 2022 – the 6th edition of this landmark publication.
- In non-US markets, sustainable investment assets under management (AUM) have increased by 20% since 2020.
- Increased rigour in US results in decline in assets labelled as 'sustainable'
- Findings reflect continued efforts by industry, regulators and policymakers to better define sustainable investments and address greenwashing risks, leading to more reliable measurements of global sustainable AUM.
- Launched to inform discussions at COP28, sustainable investment organisations from across the world make a series of policy recommendations for the international community to consider.

Hello Community!

I am happily back at work and really look forward to meeting new members who joined recently. If we haven't had a welcoming chat yet, do let me know :-)
For our usual monthly online networking meetup this month we have confirmed a really interesting and experienced guest Chloe Chang from EBRD to join and share insights on her work in climate investing. Don't forget to register for this event here (January 25th, 1-1:50 pm uk time).
Speaking of climate finance and investments here are a couple of interesting Infographics:
What is climate Finance (UNFCCC) - attached
Can we close USD 11 trillion climate investments gap? (Visual Capitalist).
If you are investing in climate, what are the opportunities you are seeing? If not investing, what is preventing you and what needs to change?
