Paris Alignment of Export Credit Agencies: the Netherlands (Atradius DSB)

Perspectives Climate Research developed a tailor-made methodology to assess and compare export credit agencies (ECAs) and their governments regarding their alignment with the Paris Agreement. In this case study, this assessment methodology was applied to the Dutch ECA Atradius Dutch State Business (Atradius DSB). As a result of the assessment Atradius DSB was rated as ‘unaligned‘ with the Paris Agreement. The study formulates specific recommendations across all dimensions to align officially supported export finance, in the Netherlands and beyond, with the Paris Agreement.
