The COP26 Private Finance Hub, led by Mark Carney, has been established to build a system that mobilises private finance to support the re-engineering of economies for net zero carbon emissions.
A lobbying group established to:


The objective for the private finance work for COP26 is to ensure that every professional financial decision takes climate change into account.
*Demonstrate the national value to the UK of financial services and related professional services.
 
*Work to sustain and enhance the UK's position in the EU.
 
*Work to ensure that the UK is globally successful and competitive.
The tools it aims to apply include reporting, risk management, returns and mobilisation.
 
 
* Reporting means improving the quantity, quality and comparability of climate related disclosures by implementing a common framework built on the Financial Stability Board's Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.
 
* Risk management means ensuring that the financial sector can measure and manage climate-related financial risks.  
 
* Returns means helping investors identify the opportunities in the transition to net zero and report how their own portfolios are aligned for the transition.
 
* Mobilisation means increasing private financial flows to emerging and developing economies, by connecting available capital with investable projects and encouraging new market structures.
