Invitation: SFL Partner Day 26 May 2026
The Sustainable Finance Lab (SFL) invites you to explore what the new geopolitical environment and the contestation of sustainable finance frameworks mean for efforts to build climate and social resilience through finance.
Time: Tue 2026-05-26 08.00 - 13.30
Location: Sjöfartshuset, Skeppsbron, Gamla Stan, Stockholm
Policy makers, financial market actors, and researchers are navigating a rapidly shifting landscape for sustainable finance — marked by political fracture, the resurgence of nationalist economic agendas, and mounting uncertainty about the durability of the regulatory frameworks that have underpinned ESG investment over the past decade.
The consolidation of green financial regulation within Europe faces growing friction from member states prioritising energy sovereignty, industrial competitiveness, and short-term electoral pressures over long-term climate commitments. In the United States, ESG has become a site of explicit political contestation. The EU’s leadership in this area has been pivotal in setting global standards, and the erosion of political will risks significantly undermining the coordinated action that the transition to sustainable economies and societies demands.
The Sustainable Finance Lab (SFL), in collaboration with Nordea, invites you to explore what the new geopolitical environment and the contestation of sustainable finance frameworks mean for efforts to build climate and social resilience through finance.
