SUMMARY:Progress and Challenges to Achieving a Common Taxonomy for Climate Investments
DESCRIPTION:Policymakers from China and the EU discuss current climate investment taxonomies and what is needed to achieve a common worldwide taxonomy. \nAs countries and governments have pursued policies and regulations to fulfill their commitments to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century\, they have formulated classification systems or “taxonomies” to define\, guide and measure environmentally sustainable economic activities. Taxonomies have been developed in the EU\, China and around the world to translate green objectives into criteria for investment\, establish how assets and projects are aligned with green objectives and define green activities that can be financed by the financial system. \nIn this free webinar\, two distinguished policymakers will discuss the most well-developed taxonomies currently in place (EU and China); explore the similarities\, differences\, and implementation progress to date; and debate what is still needed to achieve a common taxonomy and harmonization worldwide. What has been the experience to date and where are the gaps\, as countries move from principles to more detailed technical criteria on the path to a green transition? \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism. Matt was recognized by the United Nations as #3 of the “Top 10 Most Influential Media Executives for Impact” in 2015 during the launch of the UN SDGs.\nHe has advised the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative (SSEI)\, UNCTAD\, and the UN\, and hosts event coverage at the World Economic Forum\, ADFW\, Climate Week NYC\, EU Parliament\, COP\, the Vatican\, NASDAQ\, NYSE\, and more. Matt is a founding board member of the Humanity 2.0 Foundation\, a Vatican-based NGO focused on identifying and removing impediments to human flourishing.\nHe previously rang the NASDAQ Closing Bell in honor of his partnership with NASDAQ OMX to launch the world’s first retail investor targeting and newswire monitoring platform with the NASDAQ Financial Services Group. Matt launched ESG News in 2021\, leading coverage of more than 10\,000 news stories as of 2026—and truly loves what he does. \nesgnews.com
