Sustainable investment market
Capital markets that are aligned with sustainability can be instrumental in financing sustainable development. The past decade has witnessed a surge of sustainability themed financial products in variety, number and assets. UNCTAD estimates the total value of sustainable financial products, in 2022, at $5.8 trillion, up by 12 per cent from 2021. However, UNCTAD analysis shows that not all of this investment is truly sustainable and that alignment with the SDGs remains limited.
