SMU, in partnership with a global consortium of universities and finance leaders, has launched the Sustainable Finance Taxonomy Mapper, a first-of-its-kind global platform that compares and connects sustainable finance taxonomies across countries. The initiative is co-led by SMU Associate Professor of Sustainable Finance Urban Fellow (Urban Growth) Theodor Cojoianu, who said that the platform and its academic network will equip policymakers, financial institutions, and civil society with valuable data, research tools, and educational resources to support effective sustainable finance policymaking. SMU Dean of College of Integrative Studies and Professor of Political Science Elvin Lim said that mapping taxonomies to improve cross-jurisdictional operability is essential for strengthening global cooperation on green finance.
