Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF)

Enabling financial institutions to assess and disclose greenhouse gas emissions of loans and investments.
About us
PCAF is the first global initiative ever created by the financial sector that enables financial institutions to measure and disclose the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions financed by loans and investments. Measuring financed emissions is a foundational step in assessing alignment with climate scenarios and risks, setting science-based targets, informing climate actions and reporting on progress. As an industry-led partnership, PCAF facilitates transparency and accountability of the financial sector to the Paris Agreement.

In Europe, the building sector contributes to approximately 36% of the #GHGemissions. Significant actions and investments are required to mobilize the European building sector towards #netzero. Financial institutions can drive change by decarbonizing the building stock in their portfolios. Through the Financing towards net-zero buildings, funded by the Laudes Foundation, PCAF is supporting financial institutions by identifying cost effective sustainable financial products that will help achieve a net-zero emission building stock without delay. PCAF has published a report which summarizes the key findings on linking financial and non-financial products to incentivize building emissions reduction for financial institutions, the challenges related to these linkages and recommendations for the European financial sector. To find out more about PCAF Project Financing towards net-zero buildings, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/exQ4vnJP Read the full report here:
