About

UNEP FI carries out its activities in North America through the North American Task Force.

The Task Force is working to incorporate the principles of sustainable development as normal business practice throughout the North American financial sector. The specific goals of the Task Force are:

  • To create a forum for North American Signatories to the UNEP FI Statements to exchange ideas and best practice in the area of finance and sustainability;
  • To explore and raise awareness on specific environmental and social issues, such as climate change, and its impact on the North American financial sector;
  • To identify and disseminate risks and opportunities related to social and environmental issues for the financial services industry in North America.

Training products

UNEP FI has a range of training offerings, both online and in workshop format, covering several themes. For further information on each of these products, please consult the following links:
