The revised oxford principles for net zero aligned carbon offsetting
The effect of capital markets and climate policy on low and high-carbon energy investment
The cost of capital and climate policy are key drivers of investment in the energy transition. However, given unique regulatory characteristics, electric utilities are often excluded from studies examining the effect of financing costs on firm investment. Furthermore, while accounting data is frequently used to measure firm investment, this is unsuitable when considering the impact of climate policy, as it does not differentiate between low- and …
Location, location, location
Nature, the services it provides and the threats it is exposed to are inherently location-specific. Therefore, financial institutions will need to apply geospatial analysis to accurately assess nature-related financial risks. As a minimum, this requires knowing where a counterparty’s operations or supply chains are located. Asset location information is often cited by financial institutions as a major data gap for nature-related analysis. While g…
Turning a groundswell of climate action into ground rules for net zero
Investigating the role of passive funds in carbon-intensive capital markets
Capital flows in primary markets are key to the low-carbon transition, as capital raised can finance low or high-carbon assets. Yet, fund-level climate-related disclosures have focused on portfolio holdings, reducing the ability of investors to evaluate the impact of capital flows. In particular, as passive funds grow, there is a risk that capital is channelled into carbon-intensive assets through primary markets. To track carbon-intensive portfo…
Committed emissions from existing and planned power plants and asset stranding required to meet the Paris Agreement
Over the coming decade, the power sector is expected to invest ∼7.2 trillion USD in power plants and grids globally, much of it into CO2-emitting coal and gas plants. These assets typically have a long lifetime and commit large amounts of (future) CO2 emissions. Here, we analyze the historic development of emission commitments from power plants and compare the emissions committed by current and planned plants with remaining carbon budgets. Based …
