The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA) have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation in the area of sustainable finance. The MoU seeks to reinforce the integration of environmental considerations into the EU's sustainable finance framework, including its supervisory practices. It outlines how ESMA and the EEA will exchange expertise, data and information to promote collaboration between national securities regulators and environmental authorities. This partnership is expected to create synergies, reduce duplication of efforts, and support the EU's broader goals in addressing biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution.
