UN tabs former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney with getting finance sector on board with climate action

Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney speaks during the Bank of England interest rate decision and inflation report press conference at the Bank of England in London, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019. TORONTO -- Bank of England governor Mark Carney has been named the United Nations special envoy on climate action and finance, a role that will focus on mobilizing the finance sector to take climate action.

In his speech, Guterres called for ambitious national commitments from the main emitters to start reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As part of his new role, Carney will focus on mobilizing private finance to the levels needed to achieve goals of the Paris Agreement, including “building the framework for financial reporting, risk management and returns to bring the impacts of climate change to the mainstream of private financial decision making and to support the transition to a net zero carbon economy.”

“This provides a platform to bring the risks from climate change and the opportunities from the transition to a net zero economy into the heart of financial decision-making,” Carney said in a statement.
