The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) released its Annual Overview 2024, compiling key milestones, partnerships and actions taken across its programmes during 2024 to support sustainable finance in banking, insurance, investment and nature-related finance. The overview reports support for more than 550 financial institutions worldwide and highlights initiatives including the launch of the Responsible Banking Blueprint, work to advance net-zero insurance practices, and efforts to align finance with global biodiversity goals. UNEP FI’s head, Eric Usher, described sustainable finance as being at a crossroads and said the initiative would continue supporting members as the landscape evolves.
