Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Lack of incentive, information, and clarity on how to reduce emissions in agriculture.
• Large finance gap for nature-related outcomes.
• Delays in implementation and lack of detail in Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes.
• Low take-up of green loans.
• Rarity of transition plans among farmers.
• Integration of nature and climate-related risk into the credit life cycle is a challenge for banking teams.

Mitigation Strategies

• Recommendations for policy changes to incentivize transition, including proper GHG pricing, joined-up approach to food, climate, and nature, and support for peer-to-peer learning.
• Recommendations for improved data collection, standardization, and aggregation.
• Recommendations for engaging the full range of financial institutions and instruments.
• Recommendations for greater collaboration and alignment between banks, retailers, farms, and food processors.
• Development of various tools to support the net zero transition (Agreed Earth, Agreena, Carbon by Indigo Ag, Global Farm Metric, Regenagri, Soil Association Exchange, Soil Capital, Perseus).

Governance Achievements

• Increased transparency around companies’ direct and indirect policy engagement

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Governments dragging their feet on climate change and nature loss
• Influential trade associations captured by companies with an anti-climate agenda or silent on stronger policies
• Ambiguity around the potential impact of climate policies on company bottom lines
• Divergent interests and priorities among trade association members
• Misaligned trade associations posing reputational risks to companies

Mitigation Strategies

• Financial institutions pressed companies to develop and disclose robust transition plans
• Increased transparency around companies’ policy engagement
• Companies leaving misaligned trade associations
• Trade associations responding to pressure from pro-climate members
• Trade associations taking on a dual mandate: minimize cost to industry and accelerate net-zero transition
