This report argues that corporate reporting must incorporate absolute, location-specific environmental impacts aligned with planetary boundaries. It proposes science-based disclosures and the Earth System Impact score to improve assessment of cumulative nature-related risks, support credible investment decisions, and enhance comparability beyond carbon-focused metrics.

The article defines “climate finance justice” as a framework for analysing how financialised climate action shapes equity, power, and outcomes. It critiques climate finance mechanisms, including UNFCCC processes and voluntary carbon markets, and argues for justice-centred approaches that address historical responsibility, governance, and uneven impacts.

The report argues that limiting warming to 1.5°C is no longer realistic and may hinder preparedness. It calls for acknowledging higher warming scenarios, accelerating mitigation, and adopting disruptive policy, financial, and governance approaches to manage climate and nature risks in a likely 2°C-plus world.

The report analyses US climate-driven mortgage risk, showing floods as the dominant driver of post-disaster foreclosures. Rising insurance costs, coverage gaps and falling property values create hidden credit losses. It argues climate risk should be treated as a sixth core credit assessment factor.

The report outlines an investor-led 10-year vision for a responsible, resilient mining sector. It sets goals to align capital, governance and stewardship with social and environmental standards, supporting mineral supply for the low-carbon transition while managing risk and long-term value.

The report identifies twelve “climate delay” discourses that accept climate change yet justify inaction. It groups them into four strategies—redirecting responsibility, promoting non-transformative solutions, emphasising policy downsides, and surrendering to inevitability—and offers a typology to recognise and counter these arguments.

Based on survey data from 6,479 respondents across 13 countries, the study finds trust in climate communication depends on source and messenger traits. Scientists rank highest among believers, while friends and family dominate overall trust. Clarity, shared values and sincerity strongly predict trust, with marked differences between believers and sceptics.

The report analyses China’s first quantitative coal power decarbonisation plan, outlining emissions-reduction targets to 2027 via co-firing and carbon capture. It finds retrofitted coal increasingly uncompetitive versus renewables with storage, raising risks for new coal investments and strengthening the case for no-new-coal commitments.

Global Carbon Project (GCP) is an international scientific research organisation advancing understanding of the global carbon cycle and greenhouse gas emissions. It produces authoritative datasets, annual Global Carbon Budget reports, and peer-reviewed research used by governments, academics and climate policy experts worldwide to support climate science, mitigation planning and decision-making.

IQAir is a commercial air quality technology company providing real-time air pollution data, analytics and monitoring solutions. It operates a global air quality platform, publishes World Air Quality Reports, and supplies air monitoring hardware. IQAir data supports public health, environmental research, urban planning and policy decision-making worldwide across multiple regions.

EuroGeoSurveys (EGS) is a not-for-profit association representing national geological surveys across Europe.EGS provides geoscience data, research and policy-relevant expertise on raw materials, groundwater, energy transition and geohazards, supporting European decision-making through EU-funded projects, shared data infrastructure and coordinated scientific collaboration across member organisations.

Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) is a European research infrastructure providing long-term, high-precision observations of greenhouse gases. ICOS delivers open, standardised climate and carbon cycle data through its Carbon Portal, supporting climate science, modelling, and evidence-based policy across Europe and neighbouring regions.

Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) supports implementation of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity by coordinating global biodiversity policy, meetings, and reporting. It provides technical, scientific and administrative support to governments, promotes biodiversity conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit-sharing, and facilitates international cooperation on nature and ecosystems.

Germanwatch is an independent development, environmental and human rights non-governmental organisation advocating sustainable global development based on social equity, ecological protection and economic stability. It influences climate, trade and corporate policy, produces research and indices like the Climate Change Performance Index, and promotes fair, equitable climate action globally.

The report examines how asset owners integrate nature and biodiversity into investment. Based on interviews with 20 global asset owners and managers, it finds growing recognition of financial materiality, limited governance and data maturity, early TNFD adoption, and reliance on climate-aligned ESG processes.

IFC’s report argues that repurposing power market designs is critical to achieving affordable, reliable and sustainable electricity. Drawing on global data, it finds competitive markets attract private capital, improve access and accelerate renewables, while recommending tailored reforms guided by innovation, integration and institutional strength.
