Temperature Alignment
Temperature alignment indicates the global warming scenario that a company or fund's current carbon footprint is consistent with. It captures whether the entity's emissions trajectory aligns with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to well below 2°C, or with higher warming scenarios. Temperature alignment assessments help investors understand the climate-related risks and opportunities in their portfolios and make informed decisions to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy.
