Cash As Part of a Sustainable Future Payments Mix

The UK was the first major economy to pass laws for net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and has cut emissions by more than 40% since 1990. It’s also committed to reduce its emissions at least 68% compared to 1990 levels – this is the fastest rate of reductions from a major economy to date and will help contribute towards the international goal of limiting the global temperature rise to below 1.5°C.

Later this year the UK will host COP26, the 26th United National Climate Change Conference. At the summit, delegates including heads of state, climate experts and negotiators will come together to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. The occasion of COP26 will generate discussions and debate that will constructively challenge our thinking and provide opportunities to emphasise the critical role of cash as part of a sustainable payments mix.
