an evolving landscape

  • Climate finance reached an estimated $1.5-$1.6 trillion in 2023, while cumulative climate-aligned sustainable debt passed $6 trillion in 2025.
  • Yet, far more capital must be steered and evidenced with rigour. At the policy and reporting layer, 36 jurisdictions have adopted or are finalising use of the ISSB sustainability disclosure standards, and 47 sustainable finance taxonomies have been issued globally to define what “green” really means—accelerating comparability and capital reallocation.
  • Regarding commitments, the GFANZ net-zero alliances now comprise 629 financial institutions representing $88 trillion in assets. Meanwhile, corporates are also moving quickly: 8,896 companies have validated SBTi targets, and the number of companies setting both near-term and net-zero targets has more than tripled since the end of 2023.
