The chapter also discusses the evolving role of financial markets in mitigating climate risks, promoting transparency, and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The EU’s multi-faceted approach emphasizes collaboration, regulatory frameworks, and the development of global standards to advance sustainability and address pressing climate challenges.
