NGFS publish report on sustainable finance market dynamics and dashboard on scaling up green finance

On 31 March 2021, the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) published a report on sustainable finance market dynamics (the Report) alongside a dashboard on scaling up green finance (the Dashboard).

The Report provides an overview of the market dynamics for mobilising sustainable finance, and identifies three main channels through which financial markets can help steer the necessary transformation of the real economy towards higher levels of sustainability: disclosure, risk management and the mobilisation of capital. The report also sets out key takeaways for further consideration by policymakers and market participants.

The Dashboard contains a set of 21 indicators tracking the greening of national financial systems. It is a first attempt to catalogue desirable series that allow the evolution, change and trend of a phenomenon (rather than its absolute level) to be analysed. While presented at an aggregate level, the dashboard is intended for use at the jurisdictional level.
