Impacts of the EU Taxonomy on other policies
Registration Link
This ERCST webinar is dedicated to the topic of sustainable finance. The work-stream aims at bringing together relevant stakeholders (including policymakers and practitioners from the financial and corporate community) on a regular basis to discuss substantive issues, informed by original intellectual input from ERCST.
The webinar will start with a presentation from ERCST, outlining the state of play of the EU sustainable finance policy agenda as well as describing ERCST’s initial “takeaways” on the EU Taxonomy Regulation. It will then continue with a discussion with Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Clemens Fuest, President of the ifo Institute for then having a roundtable discussion with invited panelists. The topic will be how the EU Taxonomy will interact with other environmental policies & EU market forces. The input from participants will feed ERCST future research on the topic, which will continue by conducting a survey.
ERCST will also continue to work on how to best finance the transition whilst monitoring and benchmarking the EU and international strategies on sustainable finance (SF).
