Through a compilation of essays from almost 100 sustainable finance experts and practitioners from all over the world, this report presents an incisive look into the minds of some of those most active players in this fascinating field. The report is divided into thematic sections to address issues such as Asset Management; Climate Change; Export Credit Agencies; Environmental Management, Reporting and Indicators; and Financial Systems; along with region-specific coverage.

The report is based on the two year UNEP FI ‘Global Tour’ conference series that engaged over 1700 finance practitioners, NGOs, government officials and other private sector representatives in a dialogue on finance and sustainability. Over this two-year period the UNEP FI team was able to gather a world roving perspective of the various regional approaches to sustainable finance and the key issues that apply. This finance sector perspective was brought to WSSD by UNEP FI and is now captured in the ‘Values to Value’ report.

‘Values to Value’ (V2V) consists of 550 pages in a ring-bound format. Within the report package there is a CD ROM containing over 150 presentations, the PDF version of the actual report, along with various reports, studies and publications that have come out of two years of UNEP FI work. The report is divided into thematic as well as regional sections. The ‘Global Outreach Tour’ section consists of 8 reports detailing the key outcomes of the various regional-specific and global events that have taken place over the past two years. The Second section of the report focuses upon UNEP FI’s key working groups and regional taskforces to illustrate the progress and direction that the finance sector has taken towards adopting sustainable development ideals on both a thematic and regional-specific level. The report also includes almost 100 articles from key experts to give incisive up-to-date perspectives on the various issues at hand.
