🚨New article🚨 Why has the promise of universal ownership been broken, as @benbraun.bsky.social has suggested? Our argument: because the Big Three are hardly universal. They mainly invest in those that can insulate themselves from environmental harm - big tech & financials in the Global North. 🧵

Our #policy #paper has just been published: "Financing the #green #transition: Increasing #bankability, phasing out carbon investments and funding 'never bankable' activities". We ask: Why does a large green financing gap persist? What policies do we need to change it: www.uni-wh.de/en/your-camp...

How can political decision-makers strengthen sustainable and climate-friendly investments - and at the same time effectively prevent climate-damaging financial flows? The latest [tra:ce] Policy Report takes a closer look at this question. Further information: www.uni-wh.de/en/your-camp...

Check out our second [tra:ce] working paper! This time, we zoom in on the role of banks in sustainable finance: "The green banking gap: how bankability, business models, and regulations challenge banks' decarbonisation". *Join our public paper launch on Monday, 26 May, 11h (CET)*!

Banks have been slow to increase green lending and continue to finance high-GHG-emitting activities. Why? Based on 88 interviews, in our new @trace working paper, we argue that there are three main reasons: bankability, business model, and regulations. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

We provide a conceptualization of each channel of influence according to its domain or logic (financial risk–return, corporate governance, and amplification/support) and order them acc. to specificity versus breadth of their sustainability impact.

We identify ten channels of influence concerning sustainable finance: (1) initial financing; (2) refinancing; (3) (re)insurance; (4) ratings; (5) climate-litigation; (6) company engagement; (7) divestment; (8) reputation; (9) coalition-building; and (10) standard-setting.

We introduce the conceptual framework of ‘channels of influence’, which are are different strategies and mechanisms used by private actors that influence the behavior of financial and non-financial corporations to increase financial flows to sustainable productive investments.

Jan Fichtner@janfichtner.bsky.social · 2y ago

In fact, most sufi actors & instruments cannot directly advance sustainable productive investment. We thus argue that sustainable finance is not exclusively about investing or providing finance, but crucially also about changing corporate practices toward greater sustainability.

Jan Fichtner@janfichtner.bsky.social · 2y ago

Since the Paris Agreement "sustainable finance" has grown rapidly. However, we don't see strong growth in real-world financial flows that mitigate climate change. Why? Because most of sufi creates *financial assets* and not *productive investment* which drives decarbonization.
