This chapter aims to provide practical guidance on how to align an investment portfolio towards a trajectory that achieves net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 in accordance with the EU’s Green Deal (2019/20) and the expectations set out in the Paris Agreement (2015/16). The focus will be on an asset owner-centric approach. It begins with the rationale for using a net zero framework and an overview of different selected frameworks, before a roadmap is presented that illustrates the practical steps and considerations that can be used to create a net zero-aligned portfolio. Then different carbon metrics and alignment evaluation tools are analysed to outline sensible tracking of a given investment portfolio’s GHG stance. This is followed by a discussion of common issues related to the collection of relevant data, dealing with gaps in, the lack of, or even incorrect, data, with results being mapped to visualise the GHG emissions profile of an investment portfolio. Finally, guidance is given on practical steps and considerations for achieving portfolio alignment with a net zero emissions targets and pathways by 2050.
WHY USE A NET ZERO FRAMEWORK?
