Watch our new finance film
Watch our new finance film
Based on the success of Our Planet: Our Business and the Our Planet series, WWF and Silverback Films have teamed up again to create a new film for business – this time for the finance sector. Our Planet: Too Big To Fail explores the risks of inaction, the impact of investing-as-usual, and the role the finance sector can play powering a sustainable future. Using the stunning Our Planet footage from the Netflix series and a series of thought-provoking interviews with some of the most influential names in the sector, Our Planet: Too Big To Fail shows that it is fundamental to transform the finance sector towards global efforts to solve the climate and nature crisis.
Hear from climate champions Mark Carney and Tavaziva Madzinga, pioneers in sustainable finance Hiro Mizuno, Bevis Watts and Steve Waygood, leading figures in economics Sir Partha Dasgupta and Kate Raworth, and campaigners Richard Curtis and Catherine Howarth, amongst others on the threats to our global economy and the catastrophic risk to our financial systems if we choose to ignore these threats.

The 5 goals for the finance sector
The 5 goals for the finance sector
The film calls on the finance sector to pursue 5 overarching goals to help the environmental crisis
1.Understand and minimise your risks
Commit to reporting all your environment, social, governance (ESG) and climate risks (through the TCFD and support the creation of the TNFDs).
2.Declare and halt your negative impact
Over the next decade we need to halve greenhouse gas emissions and align to the Paris targets, halt the destruction of nature, and invest in restoring the natural capital that drives our economies.
3. Consider all stakeholders in decision-making
Align investments with the values of savers so that the impact on people and planet is prioritised alongside financial returns
4.Seize new opportunities
Ensure all investments and lending have positive impact on people and planet.
5.Help build the new system we need
Commit to working across sectors and with government to devise policies and frameworks that accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy.
