Sustainable financial services - A long needed boost?
summary
Claims that sustainable investing is mainstream get backed with numbers and products: labeled sustainable funds rise from ~300 to ~750 while genuinely clean funds remain a handful, investors pour 360 billion in 2020, and 127 governments plus 1,100 companies claim net‑zero paths covering ~60% of emissions. Concrete tools include a CO2 footprinting tool tied to debit card purchases, banks issuing EU‑standard green bonds, and asset managers building temperature alignment metrics and voting stewardship; portfolios, however, remain carbon‑intensive.
