The MSCI Net-Zero Tracker indicates the collective progress of publicly listed companies in the MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index (IMI) in keeping global warming well below 2°C. It also highlights the largest listed companies with improved climate disclosures, as well as those that lag.1

The MSCI Net-Zero Tracker offers investors, companies, financial intermediaries and policymakers an objective gauge of the contribution by the world's listed companies to total carbon emissions and their progress toward a net-zero economy.

We're running out of time to reach net-zero emissions

* The chart above shows annual total Scope 1 emissions of MSCI ACWI IMI constituents (not index weighted) based on companies' reported emission data and MSCI estimates, up to 2020. Emissions for 2020 that companies haven't yet reported and 2021 figures are based solely on MSCI estimates, given a lag in company reporting. The remaining future emissions budget to achieve a 1.5°C and 2°C warming scenario are calculated based on bottom-up estimates (sum of remaining emissions budget of all MSCI ACWI IMI constituents) as of August 31, 2023.
