Happy to share a new open-access article from the SuFi project at Witten/Herdecke University, just published in @jeppjournal.bsky.social @naguila.bsky.social @janina urban @paulahaufe.bsky.social @simonschairer.bsky.social @jwullweber.bsky.social 👉 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Figure from our #policy #report: 1. The main barrier to #financing the necessary activities for the sustainable transition is their lack of #bankability 2. High GHG-emitting activities remain #bankable and thus continue to attract financing from banks and shadow banks www.uni-wh.de/en/your-camp...

Disclaimer: Many activities necessary for the green transition will never be bankable, and therefore will never be attractive for financial investors. As a result, the state should directly provide the necessary financing. You can find our full policy report here: www.uni-wh.de/en/your-camp...

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...

🚨 Do check out this very timely Policy Report on "Financing the green transition" 👇

How can we redirect financial flows towards a #sustainable, climate-friendly #economy? 💶 🌍 The policy brief “Financing the green transition”, published as part of a research project by Witten/Herdecke University and the IÖW addresses this question. More information: www.ioew.de/en/news/arti...

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....
