The report outlines global energy transition goals, including tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030. It provides guidance for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, emphasising the importance of international cooperation, investment in grids and storage, and just, equitable transitions away from fossil fuels. The report highlights key challenges and opportunities for accelerating clean energy adoption globally.

This report presents a multi-asset class decarbonisation framework aimed at bridging the global climate investment gap and guiding financial institutions in capital allocation strategies to decarbonise the real economy. The framework includes steps to set emission reduction targets, allocate capital accordingly, and monitor progress using metrics like the Net Zero Deviation Index (NZDI), while emphasising collaboration with policymakers and stakeholders.

This report compares national sustainable finance taxonomies in Asia, highlighting the variability in standards and approaches. It underscores the need for greater alignment with international frameworks to reduce inconsistencies, enhance clarity, and promote sustainable investments. Differences in fossil fuel treatment and transition finance provisions pose challenges to harmonisation and investor confidence.

The report discusses how concessional finance can accelerate the deployment of offshore wind (OSW) in developing nations. It analyses OSW's potential as a renewable energy source and highlights two key strategies for enhancing concessional finance. The report also explores the challenges of financing OSW projects, particularly in developing countries, and recommends technical assistance, regulatory support, and blended finance solutions to facilitate investment in OSW.

The report highlights the critical need for sustainable cooling in developing countries to meet climate goals, reduce emissions, and support health, food security, and productivity. It estimates a market demand of $600 billion annually by 2050 and provides strategies to attract private investment through policy, financing models, and international collaboration.

This report provides asset owners with guidance for preparing and evaluating transition plans. It highlights key elements for credibility, outlines relevant frameworks, and offers recommendations for both preparers and users of transition plans, enhancing transparency and accountability in achieving net-zero goals.

The report evaluates Australia's short-lived carbon tax and renewable energy policies. It finds a 7% per capita emissions reduction from 2009 to 2018, with effects weakening after policy repeal. Coal exports increased during this period, potentially offsetting domestic emission reductions.

The report explores how gender-responsive financing can be integrated into the energy sector through blended finance. It highlights market trends, key players, case studies, and challenges in promoting gender equality within climate action. The report underscores the need for technical assistance and innovative financial structures to close gender gaps in the sector, enhancing both climate resilience and economic opportunities for women.

This paper introduces an assessment framework for corporate disclosures on climate transition strategies. It identifies 64 indicators from 28 frameworks, develops a natural language processing (NLP) tool to automate disclosure assessment, and analyses disclosures of carbon-intensive companies. The findings reveal that companies often prioritise reporting targets over concrete implementation actions.

The report explores the energy challenges posed by AI adoption, highlighting concerns among IT managers about increased energy consumption and uncertainty regarding its impact on sustainability. The research underscores the need for enhanced energy efficiency and green energy solutions to meet ESG goals without hindering AI deployment.

This report examines the potential of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) in reducing the environmental impact of aviation. It highlights various types of SAFs, their scalability, and the critical role of investors in supporting high-integrity fuels to achieve net-zero emissions in the aviation sector.

The UK Government has finalised its sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) mandate, requiring jet fuel suppliers to blend SAF into conventional fuel. Despite existing funds, further financial support is needed. The policy landscape is expected to evolve, particularly with the upcoming General Election. The mandate aims to align aviation with climate targets.

The policy summary discusses the US sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) policy, highlighting the favourable regulatory landscape, the Biden administration's support through tax credits and subsidies, and the SAF Grand Challenge. It also covers the different acts, state-level initiatives, and various financial mechanisms to bolster SAF production and adoption, comparing it with EU and UK policies.

The EU is developing a policy framework for sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) to achieve net zero aviation. The ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative mandates SAF blending, with targets rising to 70% by 2050. Supporting measures include the Net Zero Industry Act and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. Significant investment is required for this transition.

The report evaluates the aviation sector's ability to meet net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. It projects that current fleet emissions will exhaust half the sector's carbon budget by 2032, necessitating zero-emission aircraft by the mid-2030s to achieve climate goals.

The report highlights the EU's efforts to meet sustainable aviation fuel targets through various projects. Despite a projected 1.7 Mt production capacity by 2030, challenges include regulatory loopholes, high production costs, limited renewable resources, and dependency on biogenic CO2.
