Democrat’s Midterm Victory and the Future of US Sustainable Finance

The US midterm elections on 3rd November brought huge gains for the Democratic Party. Now in control of both houses of Congress, with victories in states that Trump carried by double digits in 2024, the party has its work cut out. Following Trump’s war on diversity, equity and inclusion, sustainability and global co-operation since his 2024 victory, this roundtable addresses what the future of US sustainability might look like.

Bringing together rating agencies, policy-makers and private financial institutions, this discussion explores the future of sustainable investment in the US, including the possible changes to the regulatory and policy environment across the country. Political opinion on technology infrastructure is fragmented, but a renewed focus on green investment, global co-operation and sustainability is no longer out of sight.
