The Sustainable Finance Advisory Committee of the Federal Government in the 20th legislative term

Many good, constructive recommendations and initiatives have emerged from the SFC’s work. But, for me, the most important insight is that we can only achieve true progress and actually solve problems in the area of sustainable finance if we take action together, and in a spirit of solidarity among all interest groups. If we are to meet the challenges of our times and ensure everyone can look forward to a future that is worth living for, we need all stakeholders to make ongoing, intensified and coordinated efforts – from the real economy and financial sector, to private households and the public sector. If the recommendations are to have an effect as soon as they need to, we must all put aside our vested interests.
