Background

Since 2015, the European institutions have been committed to encouraging sustainable investments and redirecting financial flows to "make them consistent with a pathway to low greenhouse gas emission and climate change resilient development" (Paris Agreement, Article 2.1.c). At the end of 2016, the European Commission appointed the High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) on Sustainable Finance with a mandate to recommend financial reforms on which to base the EU strategy on sustainable finance. The group, composed of members and observers from banking, insurance, asset management, stock exchanges, financial industry associations, international institutions and civil society began work in January 2017 and delivered their final report in January 2018. The report includes eight key recommendations and several cross-cutting and sector- specific recommendations to align the financial system with sustainability goals.
