How Stock Exchanges can Grow Green Finance. A Voluntary Action Plan

}

Summary

This voluntary action plan identifies two main action areas that stock exchanges should work on in parallel. First, the promotion of green labelled products and services helps direct funding towards green projects and environmentally aligned issuers. Secondly, more systematic and holistic changes must take place to support a green transition and ensure market resilience to the economic impacts of climate change.
