G20 Sustainable Finance Roadmap was launched in 2022 which developed by G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG) that was re-established and elevated by the G20, under Italy’s 2021 Presidency. The roadmap is a multi-year document that will help inform the broader G20 agenda on climate and sustainability, future workplans of the SFWG, and other relevant international work. In 2021, the SFWG undertook work in three priority areas that are reflected in the roadmap: (1) improving comparability and interoperability of approaches to align investments to sustainability goals; (2) overcoming information challenges by improving sustainability disclosure and reporting; and (3) enhancing the role of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) in supporting the goals of the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda.  This roadmap has 5 Focus Areas and 18 Actions to be implemented by 2025 in phases.

A belated post — Recently I had the opportunity to join the Institute of International Finance Türkiye Sustainable Finance Forum for a panel on accelerating the clean energy transition. Thank you to my co panelists, Meral Murathan of TSKB | Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası, Vusal Shahverdiyev of International Bank of Azerbaijan, and Şerif Yavuz Tosyalı of Tosyalı Holding, for a rich discussion, and to Emre Tiftik for moderating.   The discussions on the panel and on the day overall were very interesting, underscoring the need to drive an affordable, reliable, and competitive path to net zero for Turkey. This will take large scale investments, and innovation to reduce costs and capture green business building opportunities.
