Abstract
Phasing out fossil fuel finance is crucial for meeting the Paris Agreement goals. This study analyzes over \$7 trillion in syndicated fossil fuel debt, revealing that uncoordinated phase-out attempts are ineffective. However, with regulation, a tipping point is reached where banks sequentially exit the sector, leading to efficient phase-out. The timing of this tipping point depends on regulatory stringency, with systemically important banks leading the way and regional coordination being vital.
