ASCOR framework: methodology note - Version 1.1

 Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks (ASCOR) is an investor-led project to develop a free, publicly available, independent tool that assesses countries on climate change. The ASCOR framework is composed of indicators for the transparent assessment of the progress made by countries in managing the low-carbon transition and the impacts of climate change. ASCOR aims to inform, support and facilitate investors’ decision-making on sovereign bonds and enable a more explicit consideration of climate change. The ASCOR framework presented in this methodology note is Version 1.1. It is an update on the first ASCOR methodology note Version 1.0. It applies the same framework with minor adjustments.
