Country emission trends are assessed in several ways to account for a variety of factors and uncertainties.
Methodology
The TPI Centre in partnership with a group of asset owners, asset managers and investor networks (see the ASCOR Partners listed here), developed an investor-led framework of indicators to assess how countries are managing the low-carbon transition and the impacts of climate change. In February 2023, the TPI Centre published an ASCOR Consultation Report to gather feedback from a broad range of stakeholders on an initial framework. A new version of the framework and an associated assessment methodology was published in the ASCOR methodology note in November 2023.
Antonina Scheer and Carmen Nuzzo outline the challenges of assessing the decarbonisation pathways of companies operating in emerging markets and developing countries, and present possibilities for adopting a more nuanced and equitable approach to climate finance strategies.
Carmen Nuzzo explores how robust, independent assessment methodologies and data can support the financial decisions necessary to realise a low-carbon economy.
