There was a total of 94 sustainable finance policies in 2023. The vast majority of these policies were implemented by the G20 member countries. Sustainability-dedicated financial products have gained popularity in recent years, aiding in the funding and execution of institutional sustainable development goals. Regulation of sustainability-dedicated financial products has been largely a voluntary practice by the private sector and international initiatives but more recently, governments have began introducing regulations. About 40 percent of the policies were created in the last five years, addressing policy gaps in areas including taxonomies, product standards, and carbon pricing.
