10th OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment

High-Level Plenary: Improving Market Practices to Finance a Climate Transition and Strengthen ESG Investing

Financial markets have a critical role to play in facilitating a climate transition by helping to assess the net benefits, channelling capital to entities that are transitioning to renewables, and providing appropriate surveillance and verification to support an orderly transition to net zero. While noteworthy progress has been made, considerable challenges hinder the efficient mobilisation of capital. This session will discuss the launch of OECD Policy Recommendations to promote greater comparability of climate transition metrics, as well as transparency and interoperability of climate finance and ESG approaches to support the orderly transition to low-carbon economies.
