Sustainability has been gaining momentum in most countries in the past decade, driven by a confluence of factors including evolving policies, technological advancements, and an increasing global awareness of sustainability challenges, especially stemming from climate change. Emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) are becoming key players in this process, recognizing their fragility and the critical role sustainable finance can play in fostering both economic development and environmental protection.
