Abstract

Este documento realiza una propuesta de estimación de la huella de carbono en la financiación a empresas por parte de las entidades de crédito españolas. El creciente interés de nuestras sociedades por cuestiones medioambientales exige abordar un análisis de la actuación de las entidades financieras en su labor para facilitar la lucha contra el cambio climático y la transición ecológica. En este ámbito, es indispensable disponer de información medioambiental de calidad y establecer metodologías robustas que permitan la evaluación de las exposiciones climáticas del sector financiero. Este trabajo pretende realizar una aportación a este debate, ofreciendo una estadística de carácter experimental para la medición del grado de exposición del sector bancario en España a los riesgos de transición hacia un modelo económico más sostenible. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la huella de carbono de los préstamos de las entidades de crédito españolas se habría reducido de forma significativa en el período más reciente. Este descenso resulta compatible con la reducción en la intensidad de las emisiones contaminantes que ha tenido lugar en el conjunto de la economía española durante los últimos años, pero también con una ligera recomposición de la cartera de préstamos hacia las ramas de actividad menos contaminantes.
