NZ Alignment intro
The 2015 Paris Agreement bound the world’s nations to limit climate change to an average temperature rise of well below 2°C by 2100, and preferably to no more than 1.5°C. Meeting that goal means decarbonizing the global economy. In this four-part series, MSCI ESG Research explores the key role investors play in this process and various approaches to help investors reach net-zero emissions.
