We now live in a
carbon constrained world.
What does this mean? Is it important for
a bank? How could banks respond? Our report, Low
Carbon Banking started to explore these
questions. This website looks at some of the possible answers.
What is carbon? – starting out? This section
defines carbon and answers why the world will become increasingly
carbon constrained
Carbon & banks – looks at why carbon
is important for banks, what are the opportunities, what are the
risks, do banks understand this risk, what do banks currently
disclose on the risks and opportunities of carbon?
Influencing
carbon – looks at the steps banks can make to influence
carbon reductions
Measuring carbon – looks at challenges
in this sector for measuring carbon and suggests some ways forward
