Letting bankers set global warming temperature targets instead of scientists is wild... The world’s largest alliance of net zero-committed banks is considering rolling back its mitigation target to just above 2C, from 1.5C at present. The UN-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) is asking members to vote on a proposal to loosen its membership requirements, which the FT previously reported would involve relaxing the NZBA’s goal from 1.5C to the still-Paris-aligned “well below 2C”. The details of the proposal are still confidential, an NZBA spokesperson told Carbon Pulse at the time. The spokesperson also stressed that 1.5C would remain NZBA’s “guiding star”. But according to a former member, the proposed goal under discussion is more along the lines of 2C to 2.2C. https://lnkd.in/em2-Rtyr
