This report by the Climate Safe Lending Network (CSLN) gives an overview on aligning bank lending with climate-safe scenarios. The goal is that by 2025 bank lending will be consistent with staying below a 1.5°C global temperature increase.
Achieving climate safety by 2025 means that the trajectory of banks’ activities are fully aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, incorporate strategies for a socially equitable and just transition, and integrate broader sustainability factors such as nature, biodiversity, health and well-being
To accomplish this goal, the CSLN is working to mobilize public, private and civic sector leaders in the global banking system to collectively source and scale innovative, system-wide solutions for accelerating the decarbonisation of the banking sector and real economy.
