REPORT: TAKING THE LEAD IN SUSTAINABLE FINANCE: A CASE FOR DEVELOPING CRITICAL FINANCIAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES IN CANADA
A new report released by Toronto Finance International (TFI), the United Nations-convened Financial Centres for Sustainability (FC4S), and Deloitte Canada found there is a need to address the growing gap between the current skills in sustainable finance and those that will be needed in the future.
The report surveyed over 100 professionals in Canada’s financial services sector. Approximately two-thirds (68 percent) of respondents said their organizations are currently impacted by sustainable finance skills shortages. Of those experiencing skills shortages, 85 percent indicated the impact was moderate or significant to their organizations.
