Green and Sustainability Sukuk Update 2024

Resource Description

This webinar, co-hosted by South Africa’s National Treasury, IFC, Carbon Trust, and the National Business Initiative, discusses the development of a green finance taxonomy to support South Africa’s post-COVID recovery and long-term competitiveness.

Why This Matters

Developing a green finance taxonomy and embedding sustainability in recovery efforts can help South Africa build resilience, attract investment, and support low-carbon development.

Key Insights

  • The government’s technical paper on sustainable finance outlines a vision for integrating policy, regulation, and oversight across the financial sector
  • A national green taxonomy is recommended to align with global standards and direct investment into sustainable sectors
  • Speakers highlighted the role of public-private collaboration, capacity building, and climate finance in enabling green recovery
  • Presentations explored opportunities for green stimulus and lessons from international and local contexts
