This time last week, PCAF’s UK Chapter hosted its first session at Reset Connect – the flagship event of London Climate Action Week. We were delighted to welcome so many guests from the public to engage in important discussions around GHG accounting and demonstrate how PCAF integrates into the wider climate finance system. Nia Bell and Phillip Schauer, co-leads of the UK Chapter, led a workshop examining the challenges facing the UK's financial sector when it comes to the measurement and disclosure of GHG emissions, alongside Hetal Patel, chair of PCAF’s UK Chapter and Global Core Team. The session included the opportunity for smaller groups to discuss how these challenges are being interpreted at other financial insitutions, producing an engaging debate across the room. Prior to the workshop, the UK Chapter held its quarterly meeting in-person, allowing for the chapter's 49 signatories to share ideas and discuss new developments to the #PCAFStandard. Special thanks to Matt Bullivant, Director of Sustainability and ESG Strategy at OakNorth for presenting how his team are utilizing the Standard. If you're a financial institution based in the UK and want to work alongside your peers as the sector decarbonizes, you can find out more about becoming a signatory via our website: https://lnkd.in/gjd33wUm #LCAW2024 #FinancedEmissions #resetconnect #rcl24 #netzero #decarbonisation #sustainability

It was great to meet you all. Look forward to the next !
Exciting!
Loved this first in-person meeting of PCAF UK, bringing together signatories, potential signatories and partners. So much to talk about as we apply the PCAF Standard to calculate financed emissions and grapple with common data challenges. Thank you to all the speakers and facilitators. Inspiring!
