Swiss Financial Centre actors unite to help develop Net Zero Data Public Utility
On 26 June 2023 at the Point Zero Forum, the Swiss State Secretariat for International Finance (SIF) and four influential associations representing Swiss financial institutions announced the first national-level initiative bringing together public and private institutions to contribute to the development of the Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU). As part of this agreement, leading Swiss financial institutions will test the platform – an important step towards the launch of a centralized repository to provide free access to verifiable, foundational climate-transition-related data. This marks the first public-private initiative to test emergent climate data platform on a national scale.
