WWF sucht per 01.05.2020 Initiative Lead Sustainable Finance (80%) I. The WWF Initiative “Greening Financial Regulation” In order to realign financial flows and capital towards the Paris Agreement, change needs to happen at the heart of the financial system. With regards to the behavior of banks and insurers, the most important lever is to transform financial market regulations so that they integrate environmental risks. These determine the cost of and access to capital – i.e., how much money funds which economic activities and under which conditions. This seemed to be impossible a few years ago, but a growing number of central banks and financial supervisors are joining forces under the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), and are starting to take action to measure and manage environmental risks, and to mobilize capital for the transition to a low-carbon and sustainable economy. This is a major opportunity for WWF to advocate for a more systematic integration of climate-related and environmental risks in central banks policies and banking supervision. WWF has identified four key intervention points: 1) Content Development: Provide research to clarify expectations towards NGFS members and set agenda for under-researched issues 2) Advocacy: Play an advocacy role by monitoring the progress of individual central banks and supervisors in implementing the recommendations of the NGFS and advocating for regulating environmental risks in financial framework conditions. 3) Tools: targeted engagement with NGFS and non-NGFS members and the Bank of International Settlement (BIS) providing science-based tools that leverage on WWF’s scientific knowledge. 4) Capacity Building: Help build the capacity, both internally at WWF and at the NGFS-member level to ensure practical adoption of NGFS recommendations. This initiative is supported by the Finance practice and co-designed by several WWF Offices (i.e. Switzerland, Singapore, France, Germany, China, Brazil …). We have so far identified interest from over 12 different offices from Europe, Asia, the US and Latin America for the initiative.
