What is Net Zero Banking?
Net zero banking is a practice where banks align lending and investment activities with the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions. This effort is meant to reduce emissions and contribute to the mitigation of climate change through strategic financing and advocacy efforts by the bank and its partners.
Why Getting to Net Zero Matters
According to Project Drawdown, big banks in the U.S. lend as much as 30% of their portfolio to carbon-intensive sectors driving climate change. Most people don’t know what their bank account is funding or that it may be a significant source of carbon emissions. With Net Zero Deposits, you’ll know what is behind your bank account and how it is actively helping to reduce, remove, or avoid carbon emissions.
Reaching net zero emissions by 2050 globally has been identified as the way to limit the global temperature increase to a1.5 degrees Celsius and mitigate climate change’s worst impacts, according to The Paris Agreement.
