The United Nations' Financial Centres For Sustainability
(FC4S) Network, of which Guernsey Green Finance is a proud member,
recently published findings based on its third Annual Assessment
survey – Shifting Gears II.
What struck me most when reading the report was how the green
agenda is clearly moving beyond just climate issues - there is a
pivot towards broader sustainability. This is something that
Guernsey has very much seen too, and it's great to appreciate
how common these experiences are, which we see from being part of
the FC4S network.
The survey, which we participated in, helps FC4S to assess the
global development of sustainable finance. It provides members with
a baseline alignment to the Paris Agreement and the SDGs, and an
update on progress in different centres. It also helps identify
areas where more support is required to underpin progress, and
further drive progress through strategic roadmap development.
