Following our successful application for the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA) special research fellowship, we are proud to announce a new partnership to conduct an impact evaluation of climate-related risks to Japan’s financial stability. The project will be led by Jakob Thomae, managing director at 2° Investing Initiative, and Hugues Chenet, co-founder and board member at 2°ii France.

This partnership represents an important expansion of our climate scenario methodology in a previously untapped market, following our collaborations with the Bank of England, the California Insurance Commissioner, and the European Insurance and Occupational Pension Authority (EIOPA), as well as 17 international banks representing 20% of the global banking sector by asset size. We look forward to sharing more about this exciting new partnership in the coming months.

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.
