The webinar provides an overview of the progress the Net-Zero Export Credit Agencies Alliance (NZECA) and its members have achieved since the Alliance’s launch at COP28 and takes a deep dive into the NZECA Target-Setting Protocol.
The Protocol is a science-based framework for export credit agencies (ECAs) and export-import banks (ExIms) pursuing the path to net-zero and a guiding document for NZECA members to meet the commitments made when joining the Alliance.
The representatives of the ECAs leading in the climate action space, scientists and UNEP FI experts explained the approach proposed by the Protocol and its potential to align climate commitments on trade finance and accelerate the decarbonization of international trade globally in a coherent science-based manner.
The webinar answers questions from the audience and is of interest for the wide variety of actors interested in sustainable trade finance.
