A common framework for sustainable finance taxonomies for Latin America and the Caribbean building the infrastructure for sustainable investments in the region
07 JULY, 2023
Join us for the next stop of the ROAD TO COP28!
On Monday, July 10th, from 8:30 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. (Panama time, GMT-5), we will launch the report “Common Framework of Sustainable Finance Taxonomies for Latin America and the Caribbean”. This pioneer guidance document will serve as a reference to orient Latin America and the Caribbean member states that are in the process of, or intend to, develop sustainable finance taxonomies.
The Framework establishes a set of guiding principles, drawing on the European Union and international best practices, that will improve comparability and ensure interoperability of sustainable finance taxonomies in the LAC region and internationally, while considering local specificities. Thus, facilitating access to cross-border capital flows for environmentally sustainable investments in the region.
The event will be live-streamed on YouTube. You can find the SAVE THE DATE in the attachment and access the livestream or schedule a notification for the start through the following link.
The Working Group on Sustainable Finance Taxonomies for Latin America and the Caribbean, constituted by UNEP and its Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), UNDP, IFC, World Bank, IMF, IDB, CAF, ECLAC, FAO, and the European Commission, as an external technical advisor, has acted as the Steering Committee of the technical development of the Common Framework of Sustainable Finance Taxonomies for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC Taxonomy Common Framework).
The LAC Taxonomy Common Framework has been funded by the European Union through the EUROCLIMA Programme.
