The Prime Minister’s meeting brought together UK politicians, regulators and investment industry stakeholders to discuss the sustainable finance priorities of a new UK government, focusing on priorities that can facilitate a successful transition to a sustainable and equitable economy that benefits natural and social systems.
The sessions looked in depth at key policy developments related to the UK transition process, including:
- an inventory of the landscape and development in the United Kingdom;
- a discussion about the place of regulation; and
- market-leading transition approaches and strategies.
Discussions presented strategies and signals to make the UK an attractive place to invest, overcoming perceived or existing barriers and building on best practices from around the world. The value of a transition planning ecosystem to create momentum for the transition was emphasised, with both investors and policymakers playing a critical role in this ecosystem. A look at the role of regulation answered the important question of how policymakers and investors can work together to create a positive, sustainable regulatory environment and support the transition.
