What we’re working on
Transforming the global banking system to align with the goal of decarbonizing the banking sector for a climate-safe world.
Why we’re working toward this goal
Banks have an outsized impact on our planet’s climate. Bank lending is a significant source of finance for fossil fuel development and is responsible for the massive allocation of credit to climate-damaging projects across the globe.
How we are approaching this problem
Influencing and enabling banks and bank stakeholders along progressive levels of climate performance leading to total bank decarbonization.
