The Investment Leaders Group’s latest publication “Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method”, is the final in a two-part series

The Investment Leaders Group’s latest publication “Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method”, is the final in a two-part series developed by CISL and the Investment Leaders Group published on Thursday, 29 July 2021. Both Part 1 and Part 2 can be accessed here: https://www.cisl.cam.ac.uk/events/webinar-understanding-climate-performance-investment-funds-part-2-universal-temperature-score The report aims to foster familiarity with the temperature score landscape by examining the building blocks of existing methods. It proposes a simple, transparent and scientifically robust method that translates portfolio emissions into a metric expressed in degrees Celsius, to report portfolio alignment with the Paris ambition. The method aims to answer the question: “What would be the global mean temperature increase at the end of the century if the entire economy had the same emissions intensity as this portfolio?”. Chaired by Lucy Auden (Senior Programme Manager, Investment Leaders Group), the webinar features Dr Jake Reynolds (Executive Director, Sustainable Economy) setting the scene on why and how a temperature score can help investors understand their investment impact on climate stability, followed by a presentation on the methodology by Dr Pablo Salas Bravo (Prince of Wales Global Sustainability Fellow).
