Green Finance Alliance Jahresbericht 2022

The effects of the climate crisis clearly show what needs to be done: reduce our depen dency on fossil fuels, use our resources wisely, and continue the just transition.

The Green Finance Alliance is one of the first government-led climate initiatives for f inancial companies, with criteria defined independently of financial companies and on a clear scientific basis. The short- and medium-term goals provide orientation, and the transparent criteria are guidelines on the way to the 1.5 °C climate target. The Green Finance Alliance helps its members to move quicker from strategy to implementation and offers support on questions such as: how and where are investments made, which activities are to be underwritten in the coming years, and how can climate risks be taken into account in the company.

Environmental and climate-relevant issues are becoming key decision-making factors in the financial sector. I am very pleased to see Austrian financial companies making this journey together with us as Green Finance Alliance members. As pioneers, they show how climate protection can be successfully integrated into their core business.

Climate finance was a central topic at the 27th World Climate Summit. Our role as the public-sector is to create a clear framework that facilitates sustainable finance activities and drives them into the mainstream. The goal is to channel more public financial flows and private capital into environmentally sustainable activities. The members of the Green Finance Alliance are leading pioneers in this endeavor.
