In recent years, the world of sustainable finance has been undergoing a startling transformation. As green technology becomes increasingly mainstream and price points fall, investors have approached sustainable projects with growing confidence.
The World Economic Forum, home to several of the world’s foremost sustainability experts, believes that 2025 will in fact be a year defined by nature-positive finance.
With that being said, it’s not all plain sailing in the sustainable finance sphere. Within the last year, studies have revealed that many investors have become less concerned with the ESG credentials of the people and projects that they fund.
The deprioritising of ESG can also be seen in the softening of DEI policies within many companies, as board directors begin to worry less about projecting an image of equity and people-centricity.
Overall, sustainable finance is very much on the rise, growing in step with the urgency surrounding climate change.
It is an extremely dynamic sector, which has proven itself to have a financial imperative, as well as an environmental and social imperative.
This week, we explore the top trends reshaping sustainable finance and examine why they’re poised to make 2025 a pivotal year for green investments.
