Net Zero Finance Analysis: A Framework for Assessing Net Zero Commitments by Financial Institutions

The World Resources Institute describes the Financial Institutions Net Zero Tracker, a tool and framework designed to evaluate the transparency, ambition, implementation, and credibility of net zero commitments made by financial institutions, including their consideration of equity and nature.

• The Financial Institutions Net Zero Tracker utilizes a framework to evaluate net zero commitments based on five specific criteria: transparency and ambition, implementation, credibility, and the consideration of equity and nature issues.
• The tracker is intended to serve multiple stakeholders: it allows financial institutions to analyze the details of commitments and peer leading practices, while providing civil society organizations and regulators with a means to hold firms accountable and advocate for progress.
• The need for this tracker arises because the inconsistent quality and quantity of disclosures and commitments currently obstruct accountability, transparency, and the ability to operationalize and set attainable targets.
