Just released! The Net-Zero Banking Alliance has published its 2024 Progress Report highlighting developments in target setting and transition planning while featuring case studies from member banks. 🌏 NZBA membership has more than tripled from 43 to over 140 banks since its launch in April 2021. 🎯 97% of member banks have set their first round of targets where due. Over 4 out of every 5 banks due to establish a full set of targets have done so. These targets can cover banks’ corporate business across a range of carbon-intensive sectors, as well as retail mortgages, and auto loans. 📄 76 member banks have published a net-zero transition plan, with a further 30 scheduled to publish in 2024. 💡 15 case studies from member banks explore topics including sustainability-linked loans, electric vehicles, green cement, and palm oil targets. The NZBA will continue to support its members to independently develop their own science-based targets and transition plans in the shift to a #netzero economy.

Given that current policies put the world on track for a 2.4°C–2.6°C temperature rise by century-end, it’s only with urgent action that the catastrophic outcomes occurring beyond 1.5°C of warming can be prevented, the call to action says.
