The Transition to a sustainable world is lagging the necessary progress. According to the UN World Meteorological Organization 2024 was the warmest year in the 175-year observational record. The yearly Sustainable Development Goals Report shows that progress made to the SDG’s is not sufficient: Zero Hunger and Life Below Water are even in regression. The World Risk Report has Extreme Weather Events, Societal Polarization, Pollution and Inequality in the top 10 risks. Parallel to these developments, the annual investment gap across all SDG’s has increased from 2,5 trillion USD in 2015 to 4 trillion USD today. All this makes private sector investments in the Sustainable Transition more and more important.
Via transition finance, investors can maximize their contribution to the Sustainable Transition. In this seminar we will focus on what Transition Finance is and why it is important. We will also investigate how the concept is defined in the different Sustainability Regulations. Is it well defined or are there still short comings? Finally, we will focus on practical examples of screening for Transition Companies using data.
