Roadmap Towards Interoperability and Comparability of Sustainable Finance Taxonomies
This event provided a high-level platform to launch the "Roadmap for Advancing Interoperability and Comparability of Sustainable Finance Taxonomies", an initiative led by Central Bank of Azerbaijan in collaboration with IFC-supported Sustainable Banking and Finance Network (SBFN), and the United-Nation Development Programme (UNDP). This initiative marks a new chapter in the sustainable finance journey by fostering interoperability among sustainable finance taxonomies across diverse jurisdictions and sectors. By operationalizing the G20 Principles for Alignment Approaches, the roadmap aims to establish a common language among taxonomies - a key element of sustainable finance alignment approaches.
