Bank 2030: Accelerating the Transition to a Low Carbon Economy

Green mortgages are among financial innovations seeing increased investor appetite as investors are increasingly re-evaluating risk based on performance against ESG targets. A forward-looking, proactive approach to low carbon opportunities will be essential for banks and prefigure into their ability to drive sustainability and evolve with a transforming economy. Banks that can measure, manage and report the financial risks of climate-change will have greater capacity to support their clients aligning with a low carbon economy. Climate progressive banks will distinguish themselves by their ability to transform and move along the curve from banking-as-usual to the transition zone and onward toward institutionalization of low-carbon banking.
