Governments worldwide are ramping up their efforts to address climate change by reorganizing political, economic and financial systems to help redirect capital towards projects that align with the Paris Agreement goals. To facilitate and scale up climate finance, governments, particularly financial regulators, have begun to establish clearer definitions of what constitutes a 'sustainable' investment. Sustainable finance taxonomies have emerged as policy tools to standardize sustainability definitions in the financial market, thus helping to minimize greenwashing risks and facilitate capital flows. However, there is growing evidence that across the world, different market authorities have begun to diverge on how they define sustainability. Such divergence creates confusion and can discourage further investments from climate aligned investments. Although there is extensive extant research on the economic and financial impacts of climate change, the financial viability of green firms, and the benefits associated with climate-aligned investing a significant gap remains in understanding why governments struggle to define 'green,' and why they have yet to reach global consensus on such definitions.This dissertation aims to address this research gap by examining the policy processes which underpin the development of sustainability definitions to answer why do governments define sustainability differently?I seek to uncover how networks of scientific and environmental experts and advocates have coalesced to support the transmission of science into financial regulation, and use a combination of participant observation, auto-ethnography, interviews and comparative document analysis to analyze different countries' experiences with defining what counts as a 'sustainable' or 'green' investment. By shining light on the importance of expert and advocacy groups in shaping sustainable finance policy, this dissertation also paves the way for a broader discussion on the important role that human capital and talent can play in integrating sustainability into financial markets.
