Green Finance Strategy: Transforming finance for a greener future

The UK has developed this Green Finance Strategy to align private sector financial flows with clean, environmentally sustainable, and resilient growth, supported by Government action, and to strengthen the competitiveness of the UK financial sector. This strategy has three strategic pillars:

  • Greening Finance. Ensuring current and future financial risks and opportunities from climate and environmental factors are integrated into mainstream financial decision making, and that markets for green financial products are robust in nature.
  • Financing Green. Accelerating finance to support the delivery of the UK’s carbon targets and clean growth, resilience, and environmental ambitions, as well as international objectives.
  • Capturing the Opportunity. Ensuring UK financial services capture the domestic and international commercial opportunities arising from the ‘greening of finance’, such as climate related data and analytics, and from ‘financing green’, such as new green financial products and services.
