Are global regulations running too far ahead of tech solutions and economic realities?

Countries around the world are studying the IFRS-ISSB climate reporting standards with a view to transpose these into national-level requirements, but implementation remains a challenge. On the more immediate horizon, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has come into force and poses far-reaching implications for in-scope businesses and smaller entities in their supply chains, which may not be equipped with the ESG skillsets and capabilities to meet these demands. And as ESG becomes increasingly politicised, governments face mounting pressure to re-check the pace of regulation against the feasibility of catering solutions to support industry implementation and compliance, as well as justifying the economic merits of going green. 
 
Is there a need to rebalance the three-legged stool of Regulation, Technology and Economics? If so, how?
