Summary
Defining clear strategies to measure, manage, and reduce financed emissions in private markets, aligning with leading practices, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.
As investors face growing pressure to account for financed emissions, the private markets present both challenges and opportunities. Join us for an in-depth discussion on how institutions are navigating data limitations, evolving frameworks, and integration into investment decision-making.
Join the next installment of our monthly Sustainability Nexus webinar series to hear from global thought leaders on:
Current Landscape & Data Challenges: how financed emissions are measured across asset classes such as liquid credit, fixed income, project finance, and green bonds, and where critical gaps, like Scope 3, remain.
Frameworks & Standards: the latest PCAF recommendations, alignment across markets, and where guidance still falls short, including issue-level and sovereign debt data and scope 3 tracking.
Integration into Decision-Making: how financial institutions are addressing financed emissions today.
