ABOUT US

The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) was launched in April 2021
by Mark Carney, UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance and UK Prime
Minister Johnson’s Finance Adviser for COP26, and the COP26 Private Finance Hub
in partnership with the UNFCCC Climate Action Champions, the Race to Zero
campaign and the COP26 Presidency.

Bringing together existing and new net-zero finance initiatives in one
sector-wide coalition, GFANZ provides a forum for leading financial institutions
to accelerate the transition to a net-zero global economy. Our members currently
include over 450 financial firms across 45 countries responsible for assets of
over $130 trillion.

We’re focused on broadening, deepening and raising net-zero ambitions across the
financial system and demonstrating firms’ collective commitments to supporting
companies and countries to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. We also
support collaboration on steps firms need to take to align with a net-zero
future.


GFANZ MEMBERSHIP IS PREDICATED ON SCIENCE-BASED COMMITMENTS TO NET ZERO

Race to Zero is the UN-backed global campaign rallying non-state actors –
including companies, cities, regions, financial and educational institutions –
to take rigorous and immediate action to halve global GHG emissions by 2030. All
members are committed to the same overarching goal: reducing GHG emissions
across all scopes swiftly and fairly in line with the Paris Agreement, with
transparent action plans and robust near-term targets. All actors must meet
stringent criteria.

Access to GFANZ is anchored in the Race to Zero campaign to ensure credibility
and consistency. This means GFANZ firms’ net-zero commitments must use
science-based guidelines to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, cover all emission
scopes, include 2030 interim target settings and commit to transparent reporting
and accounting in line with Race to Zero criteria.


GFANZ’S WORKSTREAMS ARE ABOUT TURNING COMMITMENT INTO ACTION

GFANZ is focused on moving the needle on 7 key areas critical to the net zero
transition; these include:

 * Sectoral pathways: catalyzing alignment between financial institutions and
   major global industries on sector-specific pathways to reach net-zero
   emissions
 * Real economy transition plans: accelerating decarbonization in the real
   economy by describing financial sector expectations of transition plans from
   the companies the sector engages with and finances
 * Financial institution transition plans: driving convergence around
   sector-wide best practices for financial institutions in designing and
   implementing credible net-zero transition plans
 * Portfolio alignment measurement: supporting the development and effective
   implementation of portfolio alignment metrics for financial institutions and
   driving convergence in the way portfolio alignment is measured and disclosed
 * Mobilizing private capital: supporting the mobilization of private capital to
   emerging markets and developing economies through private sector investments
   and public-private collaboration
 * Policy: advocating for the public policy needed to accelerate investment in
   net-zero aligned activities and organizations
 * Building commitment: broadening the nature and number of financial firms that
   are credibly working towards net-zero


GFANZ PRINCIPALS GROUP

GFANZ is led by a Principals Group comprising leads from finance industry
net-zero coalitions that join Race to Zero and GFANZ. The Principals Group sets
the strategic direction and priorities of GFANZ and monitors progress against
them. They have launched an ambitious program of technical work to generate the
commitment, engagement, investment and net-zero alignment required to drive
forward the global economy’s transition to net zero.
