Our taxonomy proposal is receiving political support from many corners. Now, @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil need to agree as soon as possible on the proposed framework. Any delay can harm our climate. #sustainablefinance
— Valdis Dombrovskis (@VDombrovskis) November 26, 2018
Today's #Eurosif report shows that demand for Sustainable and Responsabile Investment assets by the retail sector has grown by 800%. An #EU label for green financial products would help capture this demand and make green investment options easier to identify. #SustainableFinance
— Valdis Dombrovskis (@VDombrovskis) November 26, 2018
Today's #Eurosif report shows that from 2013 to 2017, the share of retail investors in the Sustainable and Responsible Investment industry increased nine-fold. But we need to further accelerate this. There is no time to lose. #SustainableFinance pic.twitter.com/WNclbGvGEH
— Valdis Dombrovskis (@VDombrovskis) November 26, 2018
The public sector alone cannot move mountains. We need the full engagement of the financial sector to prevent #ClimateBreakdown. That's why we adopted our Sustainable Finance Action Plan. #SustainableFinanceEU #ClimateChange #COP24 #climatefinance pic.twitter.com/WN6GVMcc2G

Very lukewarm reaction by @EFAMANews @DeProftPeter on the European proposals for the financial sector. It worries me that he's weary of including #impact in the upcoming taxonomy, as he feels this is only relevant for the niche of impact investors. #SRISTUDY2018 pic.twitter.com/vofyqmlAdf
