This resource provides the 2023 activity report of the Sustainable Finance Education Charter (SFEC), a joint initiative by professional finance bodies to build capacity in green and sustainable finance. It outlines member progress across education, training, standard-setting and policy engagement, following the Charter’s relaunch with a broader focus on climate, biodiversity and social sustainability.
