摘要

Barclays Plc said it plans to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero over the next 30 years and only provide finance to projects that align with the temperature reduction goals of the Paris climate accord.The London-based bank will put the proposal to go "net zero" by 2050 to shareholders for a vote at its annual general meeting in May, according to a statement Monday. The bank would provide transparent targets to allow investors to judge its progress on aligning business with the Paris accord, starting with its activities in the energy and power sectors.
