The EU’s financial reforms have the power to influence investments across all sections of the economy and to shape the way national budgets are allocated.

The #taxonomy deal is done! A great Christmas gift for the #planet and a catalyser for the decade of #ClimateAction needed! Now we need others to join #ClimateNeutralEU! Looking forward to working further with @BasEickhout @MartinSpolc @spietikainen @FinGovernment

We have a deal which will be instrumental in the transition to a net-zero emissions economy https://t.co/FQZ7rLXnUQ @TJess1 @SDDecleve #sustainablefinance #eu #netzero

On Monday, France needs to unblock #sustainablefinance deal - "If France is serious about their proclaimed leadership role on sustainability, they have to make sure they support the current deal” says @BasEickhout to @EmmanuelMacron cc. @ukineu https://t.co/6IOFKnmHzB

[Tom Jess @TJess1]

Today is the day! We're watching - It's a strong balanced compromise, setting up an independent science-based framework to deliver #netzero investments and avoid greenwashing - its approval should be a formality #sustainablefinanceEU #EuropeanGreenDeal @OlafScholz @peteraltmaier

[Mehreen Khan @MehreenKhn]

Germany's support for EU climate policy will be back under the spotlight in Brussels tomorrow morning. Berlin is threatening to reject a compromise over sustainable finance rules (the famous #taxonomy) but 🇩🇪 will not have a veto or likely blocking minority to stop approval

[The Elders @TheElders]

The #EU has the chance to show the world how to mobilise finance towards a true, green revolution. We call on govts & finance ministers to approve the taxonomy for #sustainablefinance agreed last wk. #COP25 @EU2019FI @EUCouncil @OlafScholz @BrunoLeMaire @Vdombrovskis @BasEickhout

[EU Finance 🇪🇺 @EU_Finance]

The International Platform on #SustainableFinance is a reality! 🇪🇺 🇦🇷 🇨🇦 🇨🇱 🇨🇳 🇮🇳 🇰🇪 🇲🇦 We are joining our forces to mobilise private investors for financing the green transition.

(6/6) The future European Commission can support the lagging Member States make these decisions by putting in place complementary actions. Four recommendations for @VDombrovskis here - https://t.co/CfhU6xpnsf

THREAD (1/6) to follow my blog with @SDDecleve on how advancing sustainable finance can help to address some of Europe’s largest political challenges. Making case for strong outcomes in the upcoming decisions on the European Investment Bank's lending policy and the taxonomy Reg.

[Tom Jess @TJess1]

(5/6) All EU Member States need to recognise the full potential of advancing sustainable finance. Agreeing to end the European Investment Bank’s fossil investment by 2020 and adopting an independent, science-based taxonomy ASAP would be a good start

[Valdis Dombrovskis @VDombrovskis]

The next 5 yrs will be about managing a profound transformation of our economies. We need:
✅investment for the green & digital transformation
✅social fairness & inclusive growth
✅stronger economic sovereignty of the EU, by #deepeningEMU & reinforcing the intl role of the euro

[Tom Jess @TJess1]

15 months later, UK Government publishes #GreenFinanceStrategy. It sets out a bold vision but few of the underlying policy measures needed to deliver the systemic and transformational change required for 2050 #netzero economy. Treasury will have to step up #sustainablefinanceEU
