Aligning investments with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement enables fund managers to support the global transition to a low-carbon economy. It helps reduce climate risks, capture new opportunities, and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.
Food and Agriculture Guidance Note
BII has developed a guidance note on achieving Paris alignment within the food and agriculture sector, a critical and longstanding focus of our investment activities. It focuses on mitigation strategies while adopting a cross-cutting approach to assessing physical climate risks and resilience opportunities.
Natural Gas Power Plants
This guidance note sets out a structured framework for assessing the alignment of investments in natural gas power generation with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Recognizing the critical role that energy access plays in supporting development in emerging markets, the document provides clear criteria and a step-by-step methodology to determine when natural gas projects can be considered consistent with a 1.5°C pathway. It focuses on both asset-level and system-level assessments, considering emissions intensity benchmarks, system transition dynamics, and the evolving role of gas within national and regional energy systems.
