We're running out of time to reach net-zero emissions
Source: MSCI ESG Research, data as of Aug 31, 2024. The hourglass and countdown clock show annual total Scope 1 emissions of MSCI ACWI IMI constituents (not index-weighted) based on listed companies’ reported emissions data and MSCI estimates as of Aug 31, 2024. Emissions for 2023 that companies haven’t yet reported 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 Aug. 31, 2024.
