UK Government launches call for evidence in relation to updates to the UK's Green Finance Strategy

12 May 2022

On 12 May 2022, the UK Government launched a call for evidence (the Call for Evidence) seeking views and evidence from various stakeholders to support the development of an update to the UK's Green Finance Strategy (the GFS).

The updated GFS is intended to take stock of progress so far and to set out how the UK can better ensure that the financial services industry supports the UK's energy security, climate and environmental objectives, and the Call for Evidence contains 39 questions based on four key objectives, which are:

  • capturing the opportunity of green finance;
  • mobilising finance for the UK's energy security, climate and environmental objectives;
  • greening the financial system; and
  • leading internationally.

The UK Government welcomes feedback until 22 June 2022 and responses may be submitted via email. It is intended that the updated GFS will be published in late 2022
