Metrics for Climate Transition and Net-Zero GHGs in Finance

Participate online in a workshop hosted by the OECD and organized with ADEME and the Finance Climact Project!

Article 2.1c of the Paris Agreement (PA) calls for “making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-resilient development”, thus recognising the critical role played by finance in meeting climate policy goals. Measuring progress towards this goal requires the development of relevant indicators and assessments, for both the financial sector and underlying real economy assets, actors, and investments.
