Les cibles des institutions financières doivent se baser sur une décarbonation concrète

The statement critiques the current state of financial sector decarbonization targets, noting that data gaps and flawed methodologies allow institutions to manipulate metrics. It calls for better-designed goals and stricter exclusion policies to ensure alignment with the 1.5 °C target and a halt to fossil fuel expansion.

• The financial sector's contribution to climate change is difficult to measure, and this complexity allows the sector to manipulate methodologies and metrics to its advantage.
• The effectiveness of financial institutions' decarbonization goals is undermined by opaque target designs, the potential use of offsets, flaws in 'financed emissions' measurement, and significant gaps in company-level emissions data.
• To drive corporate clients and investors toward 1.5 °C alignment and stop the expansion of fossil fuels, the financial sector requires more ambitious and diverse targets alongside engagement and exclusion policies.
