Posted: 24 May 2023 Resource Type: Research Report Download Back Global financial services institutions are ramping up their effort to address the climate crisis. Many of them have made formal climate commitments and joined key initiatives like GFANZ.

The next step is to realise the commitments and build a transparent mechanism that tracks transition progress. This report, jointly produced with Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), provides an early overview of the progress of UK GFANZ financial institutions in turning net zero commitments into actions, with a focus on subsectors including asset management, insurance, and banking.
