The 2024 Global Progress Brief – released on 16 April 2024 – offers a comprehensive benchmarking of sustainable finance trends and initiatives across 66 member countries. It highlights key achievements, innovations and opportunities across Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs), in line with the SBFN Measurement Framework, covering three pillars of sustainable finance: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Integration, Climate and Nature-Related Risk Management, and Financing Sustainability.

This new and concise format complements the innovative SBFN Data Portal, a dynamic tool to track sustainable finance initiatives among SBFN member countries on a regular basis. Providing detailed insights into SBFN members’ actions, this innovative platform enables regular and consistent monitoring of progress, facilitating multidimensional benchmarking across countries, regions, and indicators. The new Data Portal aims to foster peer-to-peer learning, knowledge sharing, and experience exchange among SBFN members and beyond.
