The global finance sector occupies a unique position in the net-zero transition, sitting above the real economy and shaping capital flows that will determine the pace and scale of decarbonization. To stay on track for a 1.5-degree-C pathway, investment must increase nearly fivefold to $7.4 trillion annually by 2030, according to the Climate Policy Initiative. Similarly, the London School of Economics’ Grantham Research Institute estimates that global investment in climate action must reach $6.3 to $6.7 trillion per year by the decade’s end. Without this rapid financial mobilization, the world risks missing critical decarbonization targets, driving intensified climate disruptions, economic instability, and systemic financial risks. Bridging the financing gap requires action across the entire financial system. Asset owners, asset managers, private markets, banks, and insurers each have a distinct yet interdependent role in mobilizing capital and steering the net-zero transition. Each actor must adapt their strategies to align with a shifting landscape where risks and capital flows are deeply interwoven across markets and institutions.
