World’s First Tool to Compare Green Finance Taxonomies Debuts
Highlights
- SMU and global partners launch the first platform connecting sustainable finance taxonomies from multiple regions.
- The Sustainable Finance Taxonomy Mapper compares design features and economic activity definitions in green finance systems.
Singapore Management University (SMU) and a group of international partners have launched the Sustainable Finance Taxonomy Mapper, promoted as the world’s first platform to align green finance standards.
The tool gathers information from sustainable finance taxonomies used in different countries and compares how each system defines environmentally responsible economic activity.
Since governments have produced their own green finance taxonomies based on local conditions, investors often face mixed rules. The mapper creates a shared view, helping users understand how one country’s definitions relate to another’s.

Developed with Dublin City University, University of Edinburgh, University College Dublin, the Climate Bonds Initiative, the EU Sustainable Finance Advisory Hub, GIZ, PRI, and UNEP-FI, the platform brings together academic research and practical policy work.
The mapper uses deep economic activity mapping to match terms, classifications, and sector definitions, which had previously been scattered in separate systems.
Academic Team Steering Global Research on Sustainable Finance Standards
A research team co-led by Dr Theodor Cojoianu, Prof Andreas Hoepner, Dr Fabiola Schneider, and Dr Anh Vu is coordinating the platform’s growth.
