News that made us think this week: The G20, representing 85% of the global economy, holds significant influence in driving global economic progress. However, with G20 countries also responsible for 76% of global greenhouse gas emissions, their role in the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future is equally critical. At the 2024 G20 Forum in Brazil, the focus is on how to create a just and sustainable world through global governance reforms and improved policy coordination reports Markets Media. In July 2024, the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) contributed to the discussion by submitting key input papers to the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group. These papers advocate for a nature-positive economy and a just transition, outlining actionable steps for G20 countries. Key recommendations include: ➡ Enhancing transparency in disclosures: G20 nations are encouraged to improve transparency in corporate and financial sector nature-related disclosures, ensuring that businesses assess and reduce their impacts on biodiversity while addressing social risks. ➡ Supporting SMEs: Given that SMEs constitute 90% of businesses worldwide, G20 countries should support in assessing and voluntarily reporting nature-related issues, particularly in emerging markets, while simplifying disclosure standards. ➡ Developing sustainable finance taxonomies: UNEP FI urges G20 countries to integrate nature objectives into sustainable finance taxonomies and align them with international frameworks, ensuring their interoperability to facilitate cross-border green finance. ➡ Promoting Investment in Nature-based Solutions (NbS): G20 countries should support credible investment products for NbS and ensure market integrity for biodiversity credits by adopting standards that mitigate risks such as greenwashing. ➡ Tailoring regulations to local contexts: Regulations should be adapted to local socio-economic and environmental contexts. By adopting these recommendations, the G20 could lead the global transition to a sustainable and socially equitable future, balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities. As the world looks to the G20's decisions in Brazil, there is an opportunity for these nations to set a new course.

New blog post: A generational shift towards sustainable investing A shift is reshaping the investment landscape, driven by the rising influence of Millennials and GenZ. The younger generations prioritise sustainability in their investments more than previous generations and they are entering the investment world at an accelerated speed with high demands on data, technology, and impact. Born between 1981 and 2012, they represent nearly half of the global population and are poised to inherit a significant portion of the “Great Wealth Transfer.” As they enter the investment world at an unprecedented pace, their emphasis on data-driven decisions and impactful investing cannot be overlooked. Adapting to the needs and values of this new generation is no longer optional—it’s essential.   The partnership between Performativ - Wealth Management Software and Matter stands to meet the evolving expectations by empowering wealth and portfolio managers catering to the new generation of investors, to deliver robust data, trustworthy solutions, and intuitive platforms.
