As a member-based organization, the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) is committed to supporting banks address the impacts of climate change and associated economic impacts. Responding to member input, the NZBA Steering Group has, on 27 August 2025, initiated a member vote to decide on a proposed transition from a membership-based alliance to establishing its guidance as a new framework initiative. The outcome of the vote will be shared at the end of September, 2025.
The Steering Group believes this is the most appropriate model to continue supporting banks across the globe to remain resilient and accelerate the real economy transition in line with the Paris Agreement, as well as to continue engagement with the global banking industry to develop further guidance and tools needed to support them and their clients.
Recognizing there is major opportunity for banks and key stakeholders to build on the Alliance’s outputs and to accelerate action on key priorities, NZBA encourages the banking sector to remain steadfast in implementing their net-zero commitments.
NZBA has paused its ongoing activities while members complete the current voting process and will share the outcome once voting concludes at the end of September.
