[📣REPORT RELEASE]
!?️Is the EU Taxonomy fit for purpose to increase investment in nature-positive activities?
💡To answer this question, Lisa B., Nature-Finance Analyst, and David Cooke, Law and Policy Lead at Sustainable Finance Observatory are delighted to present their latest paper analysing the current state of the EU regulatory framework for fostering investments in the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
The EU Taxonomy was designed as the primary framework to channel capital towards sustainable economic activities, including nature-positive ones. However, in its current form, the taxonomy falls short of incentivising investment in nature-positive activities.
🎯This paper delves into the inconsistencies that currently undermine the effectiveness of the taxonomy as an enabler of nature-positive investments, shedding light on the areas that need to be addressed to further enhance its ability to mobilise finance for nature’s recovery.

❗PUBLICATION❗
L'ADEME et le Sustainable Finance Observatory publient l'édition 2024 du rapport d’analyse du Climate Transparency Hub (CTH).
👉 Lien vers le rapport en commentaire
De quoi parle-t-on ? 🤔
Depuis la loi « énergie et climat » de 2019 et son article 29, les investisseurs français publient annuellement un rapport dit « 29 LEC » décrivant leurs pratiques de prise en compte des aspects de durabilité dans leurs investissements, notamment leurs stratégies de contribution aux objectifs internationaux Climat et Biodiversité. Ce dispositif est un prolongement de la règlementation européenne SFDR.
L’ADEME collecte ces rapports, les met à disposition du public via le Climate Transparency Hub (CTH) et produit un rapport d’analyse annuel.
Que contient ce rapport ? 📋
✅ Des statistiques agrégées sur l’ensemble des institutions financières assujetties
✅ Des analyses qualitatives sur un échantillon d’assureurs et de sociétés de gestion
✅ Des focus sur les pratiques des acteurs en vue de les faire progresser
Les thèmes qui y sont abordés : 🎯
➡️ Stratégies climat (décarbonation des portefeuilles et financement de la transition)
➡️ Ratios taxonomiques (éligibilité, alignement)
➡️ Parts fossiles des portefeuilles et politiques de sortie des énergies fossiles
➡️ Stratégies biodiversité
➡️ Encours « article 8 » et « articles 9 »
➡️ Indicateurs PAI (SFDR) : émissions de GES scopes 1, 2 et 3 des portefeuilles, mix énergétique de production et consommation, zones sensible biodiversité
📆 Un webinaire de présentation du rapport est organisé aujourd'hui vendredi 28 février à 11h00.

📢 [Report Release - Planning... for Financial Institution Transition Plan Disclosures]
We are pleased to share our latest research work, “Planning...for Financial Institution Transition Plan Disclosures.”
As the deadline approaches for the first climate transition plans under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (#ESRS), financial institutions are facing critical challenges.
Our latest report provides essential insights into what to watch for in bank and asset manager disclosures to ensure compliance with the new EU regulations.
Key takeaways include:
✅Transition plans not yet disclosed: A significant number of financial institutions are yet to publish transition plans but will be required to do so by 2025. These plans will be part of sustainability statements and subject to audit requirements.
✅Clarity issues: Interpreting CSRD/ESRS in the finance sector is complex, with certain reporting requirements that don’t fit well within the financial context.
✅Credibility of plans: Even institutions with transition plans may struggle with credibility, particularly if they gloss over problematic areas like coal, oil, and gas exposures.
✅Comparability challenges: Due to flexible reporting structures, cross-institution comparability is expected to remain limited, raising concerns over inconsistent practices.
✅Oversight concerns: There's uncertainty around the effectiveness of regulatory oversight, with some fears that shareholder approval processes might undermine the scrutiny needed for robust transition plans.
🚨The upcoming regulatory requirements present a huge opportunity to improve climate-related disclosures. However, without clear sector-specific standards, the effectiveness of the CSRD/ESRS in the finance sector could be undermined, leading to inconsistent and less impactful reporting practices.
💡 Financial institutions must, therefore, begin preparing for the 2025 deadline now, with a focus on clarity, credibility, and consistency in their transition plans.
