Net-Zero Banking Alliance 2022 Progress Report Summary

Introduction to NZBA

• Launched in April 2021 with 43 founding members, now over 120 banks representing ~40% of global banking assets.
• Goal: Align global banks to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
• Banks must set intermediate (2030) targets based on science-based decarbonization pathways.

Key Findings

1. Membership and Targets

   • 51% of members (by end of Oct 2022) have submitted 2030 intermediate targets.
   • Core Sectors: Focus on high-emission sectors (coal, oil & gas, power generation).

     • 90% have policies or targets for coal/oil & gas.

     • Most targets use scenarios (e.g., IEA NZE2050), but over 35% undisclosed.

2. Challenges

   • Data inconsistencies (methodology gaps, inconsistent scope reporting).
   • Regulatory and policy frameworks remain fragmented.
   • Need for better tools for Scope 3 emissions (e.g., value chain emissions).

3. Work Tracks

   • Implementation, Sector, and Outreach Teams: Drive peer learning, capacity building, and membership growth.
   • Future Actions: Incorporate off-balance sheet emissions into GHG targets by 2024.

Climate Action Imperatives

1. Recommendations to Stakeholders

   • Governments/Policymakers: Enact policies like carbon pricing, energy transition, and climate disclosure standards.
   • Central Banks/Supervisors: Harmonize global standards for financial stability and climate risk.
   • Businesses: Scale innovative green technologies and adopt responsible transition strategies.

2. Just Transition

   • Avoid abrupt divestment to prevent market shocks; prioritize worker and community welfare.
   • Scale affordable clean energy solutions to ensure equitable transition.

Conclusion

• NZBA accelerates decarbonization through transparency and accountability, but larger data harmonization is needed.
• Collaboration across governments, businesses, and civil society is critical for achieving climate goals.
• Future focus: Strengthening regional participation and embedding carbon removal strategies.
