zeronomics

Zeronomics highlighted the critical role of finance in the greatest corporate challenge ever undertaken: decarbonisation.

Overview

Working with Standard Chartered, Man Bites Dog developed ‘Zeronomics: Financing the transition to a net-zero world’. This campaign positioned Standard Chartered as a thought leader by highlighting the critical role of finance in the greatest challenge ever undertaken: decarbonisation. We identified a new angle – the economics of transition to a net-zero carbon world and invented a new term to encapsulate it – Zeronomics – creating a unique platform to promote the bank’s sustainable finance capability.  

Zeronomics highlighted the risk of a “lost decade” as companies postpone action on climate change and revealed that 55% of corporates are not transitioning fast enough to reach net zero by 2050, with insufficient finance the greatest barrier and the most significant transition capital shortfall occurring in emerging markets.
