PRI Sustainable Finance Policy Toolkit
This paper aims to clarify the role of financial authorities in addressing sustainability crises and transitions, and to highlight key policy reform areas they can prioritize to help investors navigate these challenges. We welcome your feedback by November 8 to help strengthen this draft.
This is a draft updated version of the sustainable finance policy toolkit that was published in 2020. This exposure draft was presented for discussion at PRI in Person policy conference.
The PRI has revised the report to reflect recent developments in sustainable and responsible investment policy, utilising insights from the PRI regulation database, a review of academic literature, and a series of interviews with key stakeholders, including investors, academics, policy makers and international organisations.
We invite users of the PRI collaboration platform to review this draft and provide feedback to help us refine our policy research and analysis by 8 November 2024.
Guiding questions for reviewing this report.
- Has the draft sufficiently covered the challenges investors are facing in tackling sustainability-related risks, including system-level risks and in supporting the transition?
- Do you find our framing of the three levels of sustainability ambitions clear enough?
- What are the key policy reforms financial authorities need to focus on to create an enabling environment for investors to tackle drivers of system-level sustainability-related risks and support the transition?
Any questions, feedback, and requests for bilateral conversations please reach out to junru.liu@unpri.org.
This report aims to provide policymakers with a practical toolkit to align policy reform measures with their sustainability ambitions, ensuring that the policy and regulatory framework is robust enough to address the evolving challenges posed by system-level sustainability-related risks.
