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. Opportunities abound, but so do potential pitfalls, meaning that greater
transparency and information sharing will assist efforts to ensure that those
opportunities are utilized effectively.
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.
