Sustainable finance policy and regulation play a crucial role in mobilizing capital for sustainable development and the net-zero transition, and addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.
UNEP FI provides resources to help its members navigate the complex and ever-changing regional and global policy and regulatory environments.
Key focus
Our work spans three pillars:
We engage our membership on current sustainable finance policy and regulation topics, provide policy analysis and support, and update our membership continuously on the regulatory landscape. Learn more >
We work with countries and regions on development, implementation, and streamlining / simplification among policy and regulatory frameworks and taxonomies, including interoperability, and through multilateral collaboration platforms including the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group, the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance, the International Platform on Sustainable Finance, and the Network for Greening the Financial System.
We support UNEP FI members in engaging with policy stakeholders in accordance with the Principles for Responsible Banking, including through our guiding principles for responsible policy engagement.
Initiatives
UNEP FI develops targeted policy-related initiatives to support our members, UN Member States, and other stakeholders.
