Transition Finance Tracker
Preview
While the share of the world’s listed companies with a climate target approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) rose to 18.5% as of June 30, 2025, up 6.2 percentage points year over year, companies would drive a rise in global temperatures of 2.7°C (4.9°F) above preindustrial levels based on their emissions trajectories.
Those are among the findings in the latest quarterly edition of the MSCI Institute’s Transition Finance Tracker. The report offers a snapshot of the transition in charts and analysis covering emissions, physical risk, targets, disclosure and financial flows.
Data as of June 30, 2025. Not index weighted. The dataset used in calculating implied temperature rise comprises roughly 95% of ACWI IMI constituents, as roughly 5% of companies lack sufficient data to compute the relevant measures. Source: MSCI ESG Research
