Result of Service
- Through the development and deployment of an integrated implementation support and capacity building program related to circular economy financing, financial institutions will have an increased awareness and knowledge on the circular economy impact, risks and opportunities, and an increased capacity to engage with their clients and support them, through their finance products and services, to transition towards more circular business models, especially in high impact sectors. Financial institutions will have increased knowledge on the nexus between circular economy and climate, nature, pollution and the social agenda, and how to incorporate circular economy approaches in target setting and action plans on climate and other sustainability topics. Specific attention will be given to interlinkages between the circular economy and climate mitigation. Through the program financial institutions will also have an increased capacity to catalyse circular economy financing through regional initiatives, taking into consideration regional context.

- The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. The overall objective of the UNEP’s Economy Division is to encourage decision makers in government, local authorities and industry to develop and adopt policies, strategies and practices and technologies that promote sustainable patterns of consumption and production, make efficient use of natural resources, ensure safe management of chemicals and contribute to making trade and environment policies mutually supportive. It promotes the development, use and transfer of policies, technologies, economic instruments, managerial practices and other tools that assist in environmentally sound decision making and the building of corresponding activities. The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is the strategic partnership between the United Nations and over 500 banks, insurers and investors. For over 32 years UNEP FI has been shaping and driving the international sustainable finance agenda, setting global standards and growing a global network of leading financial institutions. Through its work-streams and regional activities, peer learning, methodology development, training and research, UNEP FI promotes sustainable finance and helps the financial industry align with and contribute to the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals. UNEP FI convenes the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB), a unique framework for ensuring that signatory banks’ strategy and practice align with the vision society has set out for its future in the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. Over 300 banks have now signed the PRB to make a positive contribution to people and the planet. These banks represent more than half of the global banking industry. UNEP FI also convenes insurers that are signatories to the Principles for Sustainable Insurance and co-hosts the Investment Leadership Programme with the Principles for Responsible Investment. UNEP FI has recently established a thematic area focusing on Pollution and Circular Economy. This workstream will continue to build support on circular economy technical capabilities and help financial institutions address pollution risks such as plastics and chemical pollution. UNEP FI published a global updated guidance for banks on circular economy/resource efficiency target setting in 2023 and launched in July 2024 a series of guidance documents for banks on ‘Circular Economy as an Enabler for Responsible banking’, which explores how to operationalise the nexus between circular economy, and climate, nature, pollution and healthy and inclusive economies. UNEP FI continues to develop with a working group of banks further guidance documents in this series and plans to support its members in implementing these resources. UNEP FI is also working on regional initiatives to catalyse circular economy finance, and develops work at sectoral level, among others by executing the finance component of sectoral projects led by UNEP to trigger systems change to accelerate the transition to a circular economy in high impact sectors, inter alia in the têxtile sector through the ONE UNEP Textile Project and in the plastics value chain through the ONE UNEP Plastics Initiative. UNEP FI is also developing initiatives to enhance the collaboration between policymakers, development financial institutions and private financial institutions. UNEP FI is also supporting financial sector engagement to support the transition to a circular plastic pollution and plans to develop a program
