英文原文如下:
The U.S. Treasury announced today the publication of its new “Principles for Net-Zero Financing & Investment,” aimed at establishing a set of best practices, and promoting consistency and credibility for private sector financial institutions in making and pursuing net zero commitments.
The publication includes 9 Principles, which establish that net zero goals set by financial institutions should be in line with the goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C, and that the goals should be accompanied by a net zero transition plan. Financial institutions are also guided to establish credible metrics and targets for all relevant financing, investment, and advisory services, to align their engagement practices with client and portfolio companies with their net zero commitments, and to be transparent about their goals and progress towards them.
