Innovative Mechanism of Sustainable Investment in Environment and Climate

The Special Policy Study on Innovation Mechanisms for Sustainable Investments in Climate and Environment is one of the special policy studies under CCICED’s Low-Carbon and Inclusive Transition project. Launched in September 2022, the SPS focuses on green finance research and aims to channel more funds into green and sustainable sectors. According to the 2015 CCICED report titled Green Finance Reform and Green Transformation, the green financial system includes five aspects: banking and credit, capital markets, insurance, PPP and green funds, and carbon markets.

Given the achievements and extensive research in the banking and credit sector, the SPS team prioritized the sustainable investment practices of state-owned investors (pension funds and sovereign wealth funds) from 2022 to 2023. By summarizing the sustainable investment practices of world-leading pension funds and sovereign wealth funds, the SPS aims to provide recommendations for China to further enrich its green financial system, orienting more institutional investors to sustainable sectors, and promoting international exchange and cooperation.
