UN Environment initiated The Inquiry into the Design of a Sustainable Financial System to advance options to align the financial system with sustainable development. Established in January 2014, the Inquiry’s work was extended for another two years in late 2015.
It has published three editions of its global report: the first in October 2015, the second in October 2016, and third in October 2017. Making Waves: Aligning the Financial System with Sustainable Development is its final, global report.
