Greening UK export finance

This research project examined how export finance and UKEF specifically can align with the 2015 Paris Agreement, as well as support a range of inter-related post-Covid recovery issues, such as re-shoring, resilience, levelling-up, and nature. PCR’s approach to writing the report included the following activities:- First, desk research was conducted to summarise the role of ECA in the low-carbon transition and the strategic position of the UK in the export finance system.- Next, after the necessary information was collected, the team applied our Paris alignment methodology to assign progress labels across different dimensions and identify the main gaps and avenues for further reform in the UK.- Finally, the results of the study were presented at a dedicated round-table event.
