Climate change and climate finance current experience and future directions

Some corporate leaders, however, are now calling with equal urgency for specifics on meeting global climate change goals—testament to the growing sense of commitment in the private sector—lest in the rush to achieve net zero economies, efforts and money are wasted or economies hobbled. At the same time, policymakers and regulators, including the central banks, have incorporated the impact and consequences of climate change into their overall policy mandates and operations. Policymakers and regulators are also consulting with various protagonists about the protection of the environment in their search for further clarity and more options for concrete and effective action, as firms seek ways to make real progress, while also protecting corporate interests. This volume gathers the latest analysis on policymakers’ and corporates’ efforts on climate change, climate finance, and ESG. It identifies prominent areas of interest, of concern, and of success, to give firms and policymakers additional guidance as they look to build more effective and resilient strategies and action plans for the immediate years ahead.
