The transition to a sustainable global economy requires real and immediate efforts regarding the financing of investments that provide environmental and social benefits. 

Bond markets are playing a key part through the emergence of new instruments such as green, social and sustainability bonds whilst the loan market, through banks and professional associations, is also playing an essential role in attracting capital to finance these global needs. 

The targets that we need to reach in terms of sustainability are far better understood than ever before, with  sustainable finance now growing at a fast pace. 

The rules imposed on issuers or borrowers have not received much attention, yet with adequate incentives to drive the emergence of a sustainable economy forward, its development would be significantly boosted.
