#COP28 marks the 2nd anniversary since the ISSB was created. In response to calls for climate action at COP28, we @bankenverband are committed to advancing the adoption or use of the ISSB’s Climate Standard as the climate global baseline. #ISSBatCOP28 @IFRSFoundation

Besides climate change, the conservation of biodiversity is a key challenge. How can #banks contribute to the conservation of #biodiversity? What regulatory requirements do already exist, what political framework conditions appear useful? More info: go.bdb.de/j4DJS

The @ecb's update on the #digitaleuro unfortunately leaves important questions unanswered. German banks are still willing to play their part in this imporant project. But we need robust assessments of the risks and benefits. Find our CEO's statement here: bankenverband.de/en/ecb/herk…

Anyone who needs an introduction to EU #taxonomy should check out the update of our guidance @bankenverband. Frederik Lange and @TJaeger_Berlin have brought all the info up to date. Practical examples included: go.bdb.de/CihTd #SustainableFinance

Fruitful discussion at our event with @iw_institute on #CMU. As our colleague Miye Kohlhase said: „If we want capital markets we must want the concept and logic of capital markets“.

The EU #taxonomy is now to provide clarity on 4 further environmental targets. Will that bring "More capital for more environmental protection?" More @bankenverband here: go.bdb.de/hNMZ6 #SustainableFinance #Taxo4
