Banks and financing the transition: faster, higher, stronger?

During this session, Carbon4 Finance presented the Carbon Impact Analytics (CIA) methodology, with sectorial analyst experts discussing the specificities of the banking sector and the key insights from a recent study covering 43 global universal banks. This research highlights how banks' financial commitments remain heavily tied to a fossil fuel dependent economy, while also showing how banks can drive the transition through exclusion policies and the integration of climate criteria into financing decisions. Despite increasing attention to climate issues, most banks remain opaque on their financed emissions. 

This webinar provided a critical overview of how the sector is or isn’t aligning with the transition to a low-carbon economy.
