The joint capacity building activities for stock exchanges and regulators will help strengthen the support activities for climate-related disclosures and green finance.
CDSB and the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative have today
announced an exchange of letters outlining an intention to further
strengthen ongoing collaboration on issues related to responsible
investment with a view to developing joint capacity building activities.
We will continue and expand our efforts to build capacity and provide
technical assistance to stock exchanges and regulators in emerging
markets on corporate environmental disclosure. For a discussion on the
topic go and watch the recording of our “Sustainable Stock Exchanges”
event, with contributions from London and Johannesburg stock exchanges.
Mardi McBrien, Managing Director of the Climate Disclosure Standards
Board (CDSB) said: “As the bedrock of capital markets, we have seen the
transformative role stock exchanges have played in supporting businesses
and their investors to transition to sustainable practices. We are
delighted to strengthen our partnership with the SSE to scale up
technical assistance and training to exchanges globally, supporting them
with the tools and training their markets need to create
environmentally and financially resilient markets.”
“As we prepare for COP26 next year, we are strengthening our support
activities for climate disclosure and green finance,” said James Zhan,
Chair of the SSE Governing Board and Director of Investment and
Enterprise at UNCTAD. “The SSE's new strategic partnership with CDSB
will improve the technical assistance we provide to stock exchanges and
further support the market for green investment.”
