dc.descriptionThis briefing summarises discussions from the Mainstreaming Sustainable Finance event in Washington, D.C., in 2018 where policymakers and financial leaders examined the sector's rapid growth. While sustainable investment has expanded quickly, continued policy and market actions are required to maintain momentum, including pricing climate-related risks and harmonising international definitions. The document outlines that addressing income inequality and achieving a just transition requires combining public policy mechanisms with financial innovations like social impact bonds. Furthermore, emerging markets view sustainable finance as an opportunity for industrial innovation, though challenges like public debt persist. Finally, widespread implementation of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework remains critical, offering a scalable disclosure system for corporate and financial institutions globally.en
