Context

In the context of accelerating global efforts towards sustainability and combating climate change, our initiative seeks to establish standardized lending practices and launch financing instruments specifically tailored for the green economy.

By simplifying the currently complex and bespoke processes of underwriting and structuring sustainable projects, particularly through bank lending and private credit, we aim to enhance access to financing for critical decarbonization efforts.

Central to this initiative is the introduction of carbon-linked financial accounting via a 'carbon currency unit', which will ensure that financial transactions are directly linked to their carbon impact.

This approach not only promotes transparency and consistency in green financing but also supports broader global sustainability and decarbonization goals.

Our vision

Achieving standardized green banking instruments and launching a carbon currency unit will significantly streamline the financing of sustainable projects, enabling the seamless integration of transactions linked directly to carbon impact. This advancement will greatly enhance transparency and accountability in the financial sector, ensuring that each transaction's environmental impact is clear and measurable.

The Banking Coalition for the Green Economy presents profitable opportunities for lenders by creating a framework for financing green projects based on these newly established standards. This not only demonstrates that green financing is environmentally beneficial but also solidifies its position as a viable and sustainable business model.

This will open a wide range of profitable banking opportunities, ensuring that financial institutions can both contribute to environmental sustainability and achieve substantial financial returns.

Governance

With an experienced team specializing in financial innovation, carbon markets, and sustainable finance, we are uniquely positioned to bring together leading experts from the financial services industry, academia, and public policy to achieve the consensus on the approach towards driving sustainable finance for a low-carbon future.
