全球100余家金融机构正在退出煤炭行业，未来还会有更多机构退出Over 100 Global Financial Institutions Are Exiting Coal, With More to

如今，超过100家全球重要金融机构已从热能煤业务剥离，其中包括全球40家最大银行的40%和20家全球重要保险公司。势头正在增强。自2018年1月以来，一家银行或保险公司每月都宣布从煤矿和/或燃煤电厂撤资，而此前宣布撤资/排他政策的一家金融机构则每两周收紧一次政策，以消除漏洞。自2018年初以来，全球重要金融机构共发布了34项煤炭剥离/限制政策公告。在2019年的前9周，有5家银行和保险公司宣布从煤炭业务剥离。全球资本正在逃离热煤行业。这不是一时的流行。自2013年以来，100多家全球金融机构围绕热煤制定了越来越严格的撤资/排他政策。当世界银行集团于2013撤出煤炭时，球开始滚动。随后，安盛保险和安联保险在2015年分别成为第一家限制煤炭保险和投资的全球保险公司，其政策随后得到了实质性加强。接下来，约35家出口信贷机构（ECA）发表联合声明，同意限制煤电贷款的新规定。同年，以中国为首的亚洲基础设施投资银行（Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank）大肆宣扬其全球环保资质，董事长证实该行实际上排除了为燃煤电厂融资的可能性。2015年，全球第二大主权财富基金挪威（1万亿美元）提高了排除标准，并开始从煤炭领域撤资，这是最有力的举措之一。当如此重要的投资者采取行动时，全球的势头就会增强。

Today, over 100 globally significant financial institutions have divested from  thermal coal, including 40% of the top 40 global banks and 20 globally significant  insurers. Momentum is building. Since January 2018, a bank or insurer  announced their divestment from coal  mining and/or coal-fired power plants  every month, and a financial institution  who had previously announced a  divestment/exclusion policy tightened  up their policy to remove loopholes,  every two weeks.  In total, 34 coal divestment/restriction policy announcements have been made by  globally significant financial institutions since the start of 2018. In the first nine weeks of 2019, there have been five new announcements of banks  and insurers divesting from coal. Global capital is fleeing the thermal coal sector.  This is no passing fad. Since 2013 more than 100 global financial institutions have made increasingly tight  divestment/exclusion policies around thermal coal. When the World Bank Group moved to exit coal in 2013, the ball started rolling. Following, Axa and Allianz become the first global insurers to restrict coal insurance  and investment respectively in 2015, and their policies have subsequently been  materially enhanced. Next, some 35 export credit agencies (ECA) released a joint  statement agreeing to new rules restricting coal power lending. In the same year,  the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank trumpeted its global green  credentials with the Chairman confirming the Bank was in practice ruling out  finance for coal-fired power plants. One of the strongest moves in 2015 came when the world’s second largest sovereign  wealth fund based in Norway (US$1 trillion) stepped up its exclusion criteria and  started divesting from coal. When such a significant investor acts, global momentum  increases.
