The widespread use of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals framework, the growth of green and social bond markets, as well as the European regulatory momentum for sustainable finance, are the paths for expansion of sustainable finance in present. Regarding trends, the promotion of climate finance in the economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, the sustainable investment market evolution in Latin America and the quality and availability of non-financial information will be key in the development of this investment philosophy in the near future.
