The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has unveiled one of its latest publications, focusing on sustainable finance consumer risks and the Sustainable Finance Roadmap for 2024. Divided into two parts, Part A of the report delves into the risks faced by financial consumers within the sustainable finance realm, outlining available consumer protection tools and responses.
