Our strategic priorities

Continue to build upon and expand our work on net zero and the transition to a decarbonised global economy

Net zero is at centre of our work, presenting the biggest challenge and opportunity for our members and associates in the transition and decarbonisation of the global economy to reach net zero goals. The Net Zero Investment Framework remains the most widely used guide by investors to set targets and produce related net zero strategies and transition plans. We continue to publish accompanying and supplementary guidance to cover additional asset classes and themes. 

Build out work on physical risk, adaptation and resilience

As global average temperatures continue to rise, the impact of physical climate risks rises with them. Investors recognise this growing threat, which poses material risks to investment portfolios. As well as addressing risk, investment in adaptation and resilience can offer opportunities. A dual-track approach to mitigation and adaptation & resilience is required as the cost of inaction rises.

In 2025, we published a Climate Resilience Investment Framework, which supports investors seeking to develop individual climate resilience goals and implementation strategies. We also produced a second iteration of the Physical Climate Risk Appraisal Methodology, which provides systematic, objective, and replicable guidelines for integrating physical climate risks into investment decision-making.
