Taking stock of global sustainability reporting

This closed-door event will discuss standards for the measurement and disclosure of climate-related exposures.

Date: April 20, 2021, 2:00 pm Topic: Banking and capital markets

The sound measurement and disclosure of climate-related exposures is essential to steer capital towards a more sustainable economy. Regulation has now come into effect in the EU and UK, and other jurisdictions similarly will implement international standards in climate risk disclosure.

In this seminar Bruegel will convene key public and private sector experts to examine recent initiatives. The focus of our discussion will be on whether key jurisdictions converge towards a common standard that will facilitate capital allocation in line with global climate commitments.

This event is only open to Bruegel members and selected invitees.
