NGFS provides policy recommendations on bridging data gaps

Article summary

The Network for Greening the Financial System has published its final report on bridging data gaps. The report follows up on the May 2021 progress report on the subject, which laid the groundwork for a comprehensive assessment of climate-related data needs, availability and gaps and identified three building blocks required to ensure the availability of reliable and comparable climate-related data. The report highlights notable progress since the publication of the progress report but states that further progress is needed. The final report provides specific NGFS policy recommendations, which are based on the progress report’s building blocks.
