Building Global Green Banking Structures: Towards Sustainable Financing and Regulation In response to the urgent need for environmentally sustainable practices in finance, the establishment of global green banking structures and regulations (RehGid) represents a crucial step towards fostering sustainable development and combating climate change. These structures encompass a range of initiatives aimed at aligning banking practices with environmental goals, such as investing in renewable energy projects, supporting sustainable agriculture, and financing green infrastructure. By incorporating environmental criteria into lending decisions and investment portfolios, green banks can drive capital towards environmentally beneficial projects while mitigating the risks associated with climate change. Moreover, RehGid provides a regulatory framework to ensure consistency and accountability in green banking practices across jurisdictions. By setting standards for transparency, disclosure, and reporting, regulatory authorities can promote the adoption of sustainable finance principles and enhance market integrity. Through collaboration and knowledge sharing among stakeholders, including governments, financial institutions, and civil society organizations, global green banking structures can catalyze the transition towards a low-carbon and resilient economy. By leveraging the power of finance to support environmental sustainability, we can pave the way for a more equitable and prosperous future for generations to come. #GreenBanking #SustainableFinance #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalSustainability #GlobalRegulations #FinanceForFuture #GreenInvesting #ClimateFinance #RegulatoryFrameworks #SustainableDevelopment #FinanceForChange #GreenEconomy #ClimateResilience #BankingForEnvironment #GlobalCollaboration #RenewableEnergy #CarbonNeutral #EcoFriendlyBanking #RegulatoryStandards #FinanceForClimate

How effective are bank #decarbonization targets? Reclaim Finance - ONG's Targeting Net Zero report launched today offers an answer. The research digs into targets set by 30 of the largest member banks in the Net-Zero Banking Alliance –– which, unlike most other net-zero alliances for finance, requires members to set targets for the highest emitting sectors. Per Ilmi Granoff's forward, the report shows that 1) years of growing complexity has led to a "methodological morass," and that 2) the methodologies haven't demonstrated they're changing the behavior of emissions-intensive borrowers or the banks’ relationships to them.” The short answer offered on effectiveness: ✅ Those targets which reduce financing to fossil fuel supply from both lending and capital markets activities (~50% of fossil fuel sector finance = bonds). ✅ Those which lower the emissions intensity of high fossil fuel demand industrial sectors Report linked below –– What do you think? https://shorturl.at/fWlYq Lucie Pinson #sustainablefinance #ESG
