About the Sustainable Finance Observatory
In a strategic move for the French sustainable finance ecosystem, 2° Investing Initiative (2DII) and the Sustainable Finance Observatory (The Observatory) have officially joined forces to create a unified organization aimed at driving systemic change in global finance. This gathering brings together two well-known organizations with complementary expertise, forging a stronger, collective voice to advance sustainable finance practices worldwide.
The new organization will operate under the name Sustainable Finance Observatory and will focus its activities on three core pillars: Transparency and Data, a Research Center, and Advocacy and Awareness. These pillars will guide its efforts to influence policy, foster accountability, and empower financial institutions and stakeholders with concrete solutions to embrace sustainability.
A New Chapter and an Ambitious Agenda
As a unified entity, the organization is setting its sights on ambitious goals, including:
- Expanding transparency: Strengthening its presence in Europe and abroad and building partnerships to drive impact and transparency on a global scale.
- Developing Concrete Solutions: Offering practical tools and frameworks to accelerate the transition of financial institutions and economic systems toward sustainability.
- Fostering Systemic Change: Engaging with other think tanks and academics, financial institutions, enterprises, policymakers, NGOs, and civil society to create impactful, long-term solutions for aligning financial flows with climate and societal objectives
