One Dollar, Two Goals: Why Banks Should Count Green Finance Once
A new commentary argues that banks should count green finance only once rather than towards two separate goals at the same time. The piece warns that double-counting a single dollar of green lending can inflate sustainability claims and distort how climate-finance progress is measured. It calls for clearer accounting standards so lenders report environmental funding accurately and avoid overstating their contribution to green targets.
Why now: Debate over how to measure and report green finance is intensifying as banks face growing scrutiny of their sustainability claims.
