CEO and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All Damilola Ogunbiyi announces expanded partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies to support developing countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America to accelerate coal phaseout, develop viable pathways to net-zero, and speed deployment of clean energy.

GFANZ releases pan-sector framework for financial institution transition planning supports actionable strategies and measurable progress to meet net-zero commitments.

Ahead of the UN Conference of the Parties (COP27), the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), the world’s largest coalition of financial institutions committed to net zero through dedicated sector-specific alliances, today announced the release of its Progress Report, and the expansion of its Principals Group to strengthen regional engagement, implementation and collaboration with the United Nations (UN).

The world is unlikely to reach net zero by 2050 unless we halt and reverse deforestation within a decade. In this statement, the Co-Chairs and Vice Chair of GFANZ therefore urge financial institutions to embed deforestation into their transition planning by developing policies to identify and curtail financing of such activities.

The Expectations for Real-economy Transition Plans report articulates the critical components needed to disclose a rigorous transition strategy by companies large and small, so that financial institutions can assess those plans and support these companies as they work to transition their operations toward a net-zero global economy.

The Utility would make climate transition-related data openly available in a single place for the first time and provide accurate, trusted, and verifiable data – a potential game-changer to enabling the delivery of a net-zero economy.
