FI Near-Term Framework vs. Net Zero Standard for Financial Institutions (FINZ)

As per your website, SBTi is updating the FI Near-Term Framework and launching a new Net Zero Standard for Financial Institutions (FINZ) in Q4 this year.
I find it a bit difficult to distinguish between the two:

  • What will be the main differences between the FI NT Framework and the Net Zero Standard for FIs (FINZ)? Is it solely the time horizon (Near Term = 5 years vs. Long Term?)
  • Why are you not just replacing the FI NT Framework with the FINZ instead of having the two in place simultaneously?

Please refer to the FINZ Consultation Draft FAQs.
