What Green Central Banking does

Green Central Banking is a non-profit editorial platform that publishes news, research, opinion, and a comparative country scorecard on how central banks and financial supervisors globally are responding to climate change. It serves three primary audience segments — central bank officials and policymakers, finance sector professionals tracking climate-related financial risks, and academic researchers studying climate and monetary policy — with a horizontal segmentation approach. The platform operates as a knowledge resource rather than a software product, with content covering climate risk, monetary policy, financial regulation, biodiversity, disclosure, insurance, and Asia-specific developments.

The platform's product surface consists of four components: (1) the Green Central Banking Scorecard, an interactive comparative assessment tool that grades 20+ countries across Research and Advocacy, Monetary Policy, Financial Policy, and Leading by Example dimensions, with aggregate scores out of 130 and letter grades from A+ to F; (2) a Research Archive aggregating reports from central banks, think tanks, and academic institutions; (3) regularly updated News and Opinion content organized by topic vertical; and (4) a weekly email newsletter. Distribution is entirely digital — the website (greencentralbanking.com), weekly newsletter, LinkedIn company page (@greencb), and SEO-indexed organic search.

The organization is small (8 employees), headquartered in Old Lyme, Connecticut, USA, and operates on a non-revenue-disclosed basis with premium subscription terms not publicly stated; the newsletter is offered free of charge. No parent company, venture funding, or ownership structure is identified in available data. Geographic reach is claimed global with no restrictions, and editorial coverage explicitly spans 20+ jurisdictions across G20 and emerging markets. The platform is currently publishing at a steady weekly cadence into 2026.
