Sustainable Finance Education Charter
The Green Finance Education Charter which was established in 2020, was relaunched with a broader scope in 2023 as the Sustainable Finance Education Charter in the UK Government’s 2nd Green Finance Strategy. The Charter is the UK’s main policy mechanism to improve sustainability-related skills and expertise to support green and sustainable finance policy delivery. The Charter is a partnership between the GFI, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and 14 leading, global professional bodies – with more than one million members between us.
Commitments
To bring sustainable finance into the mainstream, finance professionals need to have the relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to accurately assess climate and nature-related risk and opportunities. The Sustainable Finance Education Charter is a critical step towards this goal and should help incorporate sustainable finance principles and practice throughout the business, finance and professional services sectors.
