Sustainable development is often characterised by conflicting goals and interdependencies. This is why it was necessary, and important, that the SFC aimed for structural, comprehensive changes and took a holistic approach in formulating its recommendations.
Internalising external costs and benefits creates a sustainable market equilibrium.
A carbon price path to 2050 that is recognised as a benchmark will accelerate the transformation.
New technologies such as AI must play a key role in sustainable finance.

I am proud of the SFC’s work. Such a heterogeneous body has the potential to achieve impressive results – and in this we have succeeded. I sincerely hope that a lot of what is contained in the final report will find its way into work at the political level.
The key to acceptance and implementation lies in a wise balance between economic, environmental and social criteria. Feasibility – this will be the measure of success for the recommendations that the SFC has now presented.

Only if we take action together, and in a spirit of solidarity, can sustainable finance progress and solve problems. If the recommendations are to have an effect as soon as they need to, we must all put aside our vested interests.
