The Net Zero Investment Framework 2.0

This updated framework from the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) brings together the latest guidance on net zero aligned investing to help you and your organisation develop a transition plan for your investment portfolio. It explains the origins of the framework; how it has evolved in the second edition; and how to use the framework as a guide rather than a prescriptive tool. The Net Zero Investment Framework 2.0 (NZIF) itself is organised into six levers for change: 1) governance and strategy; 2) climate objectives; 3) asset allocation; 4) asset level assessment and targets; 5) policy advocacy; and 6) stakeholder and market engagement. For each lever, there is a detailed list of suggested action points you can to draw from. This resource will be useful to finance professionals and investors across geographies and most traditional asset classes.

IIGCC has also released supplementary guidance on a just transition. This guidance builds on NZIF 2.0 by helping investors integrate just transition considerations into their individual net zero strategies.
