Steering Toward an Aligned Portfolio
Research Paper
June 11, 2024
Preview
The Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF) maturity-scale alignment provides a simple way to start analyzing portfolio alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement. In this report, using the MSCI Climate Change Metrics, we applied an indicative data-mapping solution that matches issuers against the NZIF-alignment maturity scale. We applied this solution to the constituents of the MSCI World Investable Market Index (IMI) and MSCI Emerging Markets IMI to assess how well these listed companies were aligned with net-zero emissions by 2050, according to the NZIF maturity scale.

Unpacking COP28 Commitments to Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Scaling up renewable-energy and energy-efficiency solutions are key steps in driving the transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems. Our analysis of low-carbon patents, fuel mix and renewable-energy targets may help identify where the opportunities lie.
Assessing Science-Based Corporate Climate Target-Setting
