The European Commission and UNEP FI have launched calls for expression of interest for several new EEFIG working groups dealing with leading edge issues to scale up energy efficiency investment, in support of the European Green Deal and the EU´s Sustainable Finance Action Plan. During the webinar, the working group leads will present in greater detail on the working mode and main topics to be addressed by each working group, and we will describe the kind of expertise we seek and process for sending in an expression of interest.

Supported by UNEP and working with the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), the Sustainable Insurance Forum (SIF) has pioneered efforts to share knowledge on activities that can strengthen assessment of potential climate risks facing insurance markets and the oversight of such risks through supervisory practices. The SIF-IAIS Issues Paper on TCFD Implementation within the insurance sector assesses the state of play across jurisdictions and provides options for supervisory action.

Two relevant events on Sustainable Finance took place within the framework of the Public-Private Green Finance Working Group of Chile, led by the Ministry of Finance, in collaboration with the IADB, UNEP FI and the British Embassy Santiago.
