Sustainable Finance Week Top 10 Takeaways - Day One

It's clear that debate has shifted from what to expect from, to what it means that now that the world's biggest economy, the United States, is back in the global climate tent. The watchwords of the day were: collaboration and action. If you missed Day one of  this 2021's Sustainable Finance Week, here's 10 key takeaways from the day: 

1. ESG is at the heart of the debate about the future of capitalism.  
   
   
2. The year delay to COP26 has galvanised support. It's an Olympic year, COP26 is 'where we get fit'. It is where we come together. 
   
   
3. The need for global collaboration is absolutely key. Let's not make perfection the enemy of good.  
   
   
4. The financial service sector has shown what can be achieved. What the world needs now is one set of standards. Cop26 could really break this log jam.
