<p>This virtual launch event is jointly organised by the LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and the SOAS Centre for Sustainable Finance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is a critical goal of climate policy. Across the world\, growing numbers of governments are introducing targets and plans to achieve net-zero around the middle of this century. Alongside this\, leading banks and investors are committing to align their portfolios with net-zero by 2050. So far\, however\, one group of financial actors is so far largely missing from this race to net-zero finance: the world’s central banks and financial supervisors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Central banks and supervisors now need to take a strategic stance on net-zero.  The rationale for doing this is two-fold and dynamic: first\, recognising that net-zero is the best way of minimising the risks of climate change to stability of the financial system\; and second\, making sure that central bank and supervisory activities are coherent with net-zero government policy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A new report\, <a href="https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/publication/net-zero-central-banking-a-new-phase-in-greening-the-financial-system/"><strong><em>Net Zero Central Banking: A New Phase in Greening the Financial System</em></strong> </a>outlines the case for why central banks and supervisors need to act on net-zero and how they could start doing this. This digital event will bring together the report’s authors and leading figures in the financial system.</p>
