We are delighted to announce that 2° Investing Initiative just became a GRESB industry partner and now belongs to the GRESB Strategic Alliance Partnership.

In the scope of our collaboration with Beyond Ratings, we are currently developing a platform for national climate technology and investment transition pathways. This model will cover 10 sectors, including Real Estate*, and will fill an essential market gap in providing, at a country level, sectoral technology pathways consistent with 2°C scenarios. Such technology road maps respond to the existing market demand of governments and investors and support corporate needs to better grasp how they can plan technological investments with regards to climate performance.

When looking for industry partners in the Real Estate sector, we identified GRESB as a leader for sustainability-related data, and connection between our two organisations was natural in terms of mission alignment on sustainability and climate topics. We are looking forward to our collaboration with GRESB in the next months!

*Other sectors already covered in the 2°ii database include: Coal production, Oil&Gas production, Power generation, Aviation, Cement, Shipping, Steel, Automotive, Agriculture (ongoing)

2DII today announced it is transferring stewardship of the Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment (PACTA) to RMI, formerly Rocky Mountain Institute. PACTA measures financial portfolios' alignment with various climate scenarios, including those consistent with the Paris Agreement. Under RMI’s stewardship, PACTA will remain a free, independent, open-source methodology and tool, and will continue to provide the financial and supervisory community with forward-looking, science-based scenario analysis to help users make climate-aligned financing decisions. RMI will invest in scaling up PACTA’s usability and applicability in day-to-day investment decisions as well as reporting requirements.
