How can the banking sector support the transition to a green economy? The banking sector plays a crucial role in driving sustainable development and fostering the transition to a green economy. In this pathway, Simon Thompson explores how retail and wholesale banks can promote green finance. You'll learn about financial products like green mortgages, vehicle loans, and sustainability-linked loans, all designed to encourage environmentally friendly practices. Simon also delves into how banks can align their operations with global sustainability standards, such as the UN Principles for Responsible Banking, to support the shift toward a low-carbon future.
