Abstract

This chapter delves into the role of sustainable finance in achieving climate protection goals set by the EU and Germany. It highlights key instruments such as carbon pricing, price and purchase guarantees, and minimum requirements for products and processes. The text emphasizes the need for transparency in sustainability reporting and the importance of addressing different investor groups' information needs. It also discusses the challenges of capital market distortions and the role of policy measures in addressing them. The chapter provides recommendations for improving sustainability reporting, investor engagement, and financing conditions to support the energy transition.
