accelerate a positive global transition for people and the planet. With over 345 signatory banks representing over half of the global banking industry, the Principles are <strong>the world’s foremost sustainable banking framework</strong>. Through the Principles, banks take action to align their core strategy, decision-making, lending and investment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and international agreements such as the Paris Climate Agreement. The Principles for Responsible Banking include the <a href="https://www.unepfi.org/net-zero-banking/">Net-Zero Banking Alliance</a>, which is the climate-focused initiative of this global framework. We strongly recommend that banks mainly operating in developed economies signing the Principles for Responsible Banking framework also <a href="https://www.unepfi.org/net-zero-banking/join-us/">join the climate flagship initiative NZBA</a>.</p> <p> </p> <div class="highlights"> <h3 class="line-blue">Latest News</h3> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <article> <a href="https://www.unepfi.org/industries/banking/responsible-banking-priorities-and-blueprint-for-a-sustainable-future/" title="Responsible Banking – Priorities and Blueprint for a Sustainable Future"><h3>Responsible Banking – Priorities and Blueprint for a Sustainable Future</h3></a> <p>Leading responsible banks are transforming the finance sector through four inter-related sustainability priorities - climate, nature, inclusive economies and human rights.
