Tracking and Transforming Net Zero Finance: Integrity, Innovation, and Impact
This session will explore where we stand on net zero finance and where we need to go. Drawing on CPI’s Net Zero Finance Tracker and insights from the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance, it will examine both the integrity of climate commitments, observed progress and impacts in the real economy, and current drivers and gaps in action and how to address them. The session will also focus on the role of financial innovation in mobilizing capital, particularly from institutional investors, toward real-economy solutions.
Framing this topic
This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
The Net Zero Finance Tracker (NZFT) provides the most comprehensive assessment of private finance institutions’ progress on aligning their activities with Paris Agreement goals and delivering net zero impact. The platform is the first effort to track comprehensive, material progress by major financial institutions globally, from their commitments through to action within the institution and the material impacts this has on the wider economy.
The Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance identifies, develops, and launches innovative finance instruments that can drive billions in private investment to action on climate change and sustainable development.
