A Blog from Miguel Zaragoza on Sustainable Finance

We recently invited Miguel Zaragoza, Associate Director, Financial Services Unit at the Government of Jersey, to share his thoughts on sustainable finance following the 3rd Annual European Sustainable Finance Conference organised by the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME).

A sustainable finance conference taking place in a hotel that carries the name of my son? I knew I had to be there!

1) Financial institutions are making far more efforts than sovereign nations in the fight against climate change
2) Stop thinking Sustainable Finance regulation will achieve global regulatory convergence at some point, it won’t happen
3) Anti-greenwashing rules, badly designed, may actually lead to an increase of greenwashing or even worse, greenhushing
4) Stop obsessing about having green assets in your portfolio, the real impact remains in those brown assets that have good intentions
5) Everyone thinks the US is the elephant in the room… it’s not!
