The new COP 26 Private Finance Agenda was unveiled on Thursday 27 February by Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, Sir David Attenborough, and newly-installed President of the Glasgow Summit, Business Secretary Alok Sharma. The Agenda is a drive to ensure every financial decision made worldwide takes climate change and the net zero transition into account, ahead of the crucial COP26 summit in Glasgow.
The Agenda stresses that to achieve net zero, every company, bank, insurer and investor will need to adjust their business models for a low carbon world, putting in place the right framework for reporting, risk management and returns.
