For the transition to cleaner energy to work, it must also consider the lives and livelihoods of those who stand to lose most from it.There is broad citizen support for climate action, but price adjustments usually mean higher prices for consumers, increasing the risks of people experiencing further energy poverty and of disruption to energy intensive industries.Presence of the European Union (Green Deal) is a strong driver of climate ambition and policy, although mainly in EU and EU aspiring countries.The legacy of ‘unfinished transition’ has resulted in a limited private sector and weak institutions in many ECA countries, which will hamper their ability to formulate and deliver the needed ‘whole-of-economy’ climate transition policies. Climate actions will need to be part of broader structural reforms, leading to a just transition, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders, winners and losers.Many countries facing low growth, or fiscal and debt distress, will experience significant fiscal and financing constraints. So unlocking private finance for climate will be critical. The World Bank Group’s Climate Change Action Plan covering the period 2021-25 and the Europe and Central Asia Climate Change Action Plan Roadmap stress the importance of the financial sector in reallocating capital into green and low-carbon investments, while managing climate-related risks. One of the enablers of a climate change action plan and sustainable finance is a new global and EU initiative to prepare a new sustainability reporting framework and standards which address gaps and deficiencies of current non-financial reporting. The panel on sustainability reporting later this morning, and additional sessions during the technical workshops tomorrow will further discuss those topics. The history of the development of the accounting profession and implementation of accounting and auditing standards, has positioned it well for a central role in setting due process and developing standards for sustainability reporting. This is not by chance, but due to the fact that international accounting standards systematize otherwise disparate accounting policies, allow for the presentation of comparable and transparent financial information, and minimize misstatement and errors in reporting and disclosure. In a similar way, CFRR’s ongoing regional programs like STAREP and PULSAR, position it well to incorporate Sustainability Reporting into its support to ECA clients. As many of you know, the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation has created a new International Sustainability Standards Board to deliver a comprehensive global baseline of sustainability-related disclosure standards that provide investors and other capital market participants with information about companies’ sustainability-related risks and opportunities to help them make informed decisions. EU sustainability reporting standards are being developed by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) in constructive two-way cooperation with leading international initiatives. We will hear more about these and related initiatives today. The new sustainability reporting frameworks aim to ensure that there is adequate publicly available information about the risks that sustainability issues present for companies, and the impacts of companies themselves on people and the environment (the so-called “double materiality” concept) in a predefined format, using a new taxonomy and are subject to audit. Reported information should be comparable, reliable and easy for users to find and make use of with digital technologies. Ultimately it should help reduce systemic risks to the economy, and improve the allocation of financial capital to companies and activities that address social, health and environmental problems. Finally, it should help build trust by enhancing companies’ accountability for their impact on people and the environment. Having sustainability information available in electronic format should also facilitate monitoring at the country, regional and global levels and inform policy. This is where all of you come in – as the generators and users of financial and non-financial information. With leadership in this region from the EU, we at the World Bank look forward to continued partnership, through CFRR and our country programs, so that corporate and government reporting can enter a new age of increased transparency and enhanced relevance by including not only financial information but also sustainability reporting covering environmental, social and governance matters. We look forward to continuing the work with you to push this important agenda forward! Thank you. ]]>Speeches and TranscriptsEurope and Central Asia, ECAOWE4NmIyZTE5NmE3YTU1NzFlNTVkNmU2YzE0MWI3MGMzYTdkNjVmNQ2http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/climatechange/brief/the-climate-support-facilityGermany,Austria,United KingdomGermany, the UK, and Austria are the first donors to a Green Recovery Initiative, which aims to help countries build a low-carbon, climate-resilient recovery from COVID-19.

The conference took place under the auspices of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and was organized by the World Bank’s Centre for Financial Reporting Reform (CFRR)*. “The European Union offers powerful examples on how economic integration can help propel growth in poorer and newer member states. While integration can help these countries boost their income and living standards, convergence with richer economies is not automatic,” said Cyril Muller, World Bank Vice President for Europe and Central Asia. “Policy makers must equip their citizens and enterprises to compete through transparent and effective public initiatives to build skills and competitiveness. High-quality financial information for the public and private sectors can help governments deliver on these initiatives with accountability and efficiency, while improving access to finance." Addressing the audience on behalf of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Hartwig Loeger, Minister of Finance of Austria, said, “As a long-term partner of the CFRR, the Austrian Government is excited to see the strong interest and continued level of commitment from the countries represented today to achieving reform in their public and private sector financial reporting systems. The Austrian Ministry of Finance contributes to advancing the closer integration with our neighbors, by supporting selected programs of the World Bank Group that are focusing on the ECA region and the Western Balkans in particular.” Conference participants discussed how countries can earn the confidence of their citizens by strengthening their institutions and creating a regulatory environment that facilitates fair and open competition; reducing undue burdens on business, particularly small and medium-size enterprises; facilitating access to finance; and delivering needed public services more efficiently. Effective financial management and good governance in both the private and public sectors help make institutions become more transparent, accountable and trusted. Policy makers are well-aware of their role in embracing and implementing effective legal frameworks and regulations. A high-level panel discussion with Ministers of Finance from Kosovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia confirmed the main conference messages and discussed specific initiatives under way. Speaking about his country’s recent experience, Bedri Hamza, Minister of Finance of Kosovo, said, “The redrafting of the law on accounting, auditing and financial reporting in a way that also reflects the local environment and conditions has been a great achievement for Kosovo and there are ongoing efforts to strengthen the capacity of the Kosovar Oversight Institution and set up a quality assurance system.” Dragan Tevdovski, Minister of Finance of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, highlighted that “the country enacted a new audit legislation that established a professional institution for statutory auditors and initiated a quality assurance system for the audit profession, which are excellent achievements. Ongoing amendments to the Law on Performance of Accountancy Services and work to strengthen the capacity of the Institute of Accountants and Certified Accountants is high on our priority agenda with the intention to significantly improve the quality of financial information data in our country.” Discussions also included the impact of digital innovation on generation, dissemination, verification, and use of financial information; new opportunities to create more transparency and accountability in the public and private sectors; and the role international standards play in economic and financial integration. *The event was organized as part of programs for Public-Sector Accounting and Reporting (PULSAR), Road to Europe: Program of Accounting Reform and Institutional Strengthening (EU-REPARIS), and Strengthening Auditing and Reporting in the Countries of the Eastern Partnership (STAREP). These programs are supported by the European Union, the Austrian Development Agency, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs. The regional programs support enhanced financial reporting practices in the private and public sectors, in the Western Balkans and EU-Eastern Partnership countries. The Ministerial Conference took place one day after a workshop of representatives from the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe to discuss reform progress and lessons learned in the area of financial reporting.
