What's Next for the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance?

Discussion on further developments, barriers and opportunities

Event: Dinner Dialogue
Date: 16 January 2023
Location: Berlin, Germany
Speaker: R. Andreas Kraemer

The EU taxonomy regulation for sustainable finance has received much attention. Some see it as an essential part to help shift the vast amounts of capital that is needed for the transformation of our economies. Others claim it to be yet another classification system that greenwashes unsustainable behavior. As a living document, it requires regular reviewing and updating. So what's next in stall for the policy's development?

On 16 January 2023, representatives from politics, industry (financial and non-financial), academia and the civil society came together to discuss exactly that. R. Andreas Kraemer moderated the event.

The Dinner Dialogue was kindly financed by Stiftung Mercator.
