Therefore, this project aims to enhance the flow of retail savings towards sustainable financial products by&nbsp;increasing the sustainable finance literacy of consumers and strengthening investor protection mechanisms through improved market conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">The green transition project contributes to overcoming key hurdles, including the shortage of financial products with high impact potential, misleading marketing claims, and the technical complexity of assessing sustainability preferences from clients. As such, this initiative contributes to the development of a more impactful and resilient financial ecosystem in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">The main activities will be&nbsp;<br>&#8211; Research on private investor sustainability preferences (e.g. surveys, interviews)<br>&#8211; Research on offering and distribution of financial products (e.g. marketing claims, mystery shoppings)<br>&#8211; Capacity building for supervisors, product manufacturers and distributors (e.g. seminars and trainings)<br>&#8211; Tool development on sustainable finance for retail investors and local stakeholder (e.g. local versions of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/myfairmoney.eu\/\">myfairmoney.eu<\/a>)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">The project involves collaboration between the following organizations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-el wp-block-list\">\n<li>Asso 2\u00b0 Investing Initiative, France<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Institute of Baltic Studies, Estonia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Institute

Bulgaria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">This project is funded by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euki.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Climate Initiative (EUKI)<\/a>&nbsp;of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK)&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project addresses challenges arising from
