Mr Dombrovskis said that countries should link their sustainable financing requirements to global financial markets - to scale up green investment at the level that the world needs.
Financial markets span the world and are well positioned to play their part.
That is the other reason we are here:
- to find the best ways to work together;
- to develop integrated markets for sustainable finance;
- to coordinate approaches, but not duplicate our work or fragment markets.
I want to thank the founding member representatives for showing their support and commitment at today's launch of the International Platform on Sustainable Finance: Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, India, Kenya and Morocco and, of course, the countries of the European Union.
I would also like to thank our observers.
The Platform is open for any like-minded country to join: I call on countries across the world to join us and help make a difference on the ground.
It will help private investors to identify and make the most of environmentally sustainable investments. That way, the whole world can benefit.
