The ability to align investment decisions with the global climate goal is ever more relevant in the context of increased ambition and the need to avoid carbon lock-in. Investment decisions taken today, in particular involving long life infrastructure, present a significant risk to lock in high carbon pathways. Such risk is increasingly identified by the investment community as it translates into long term financial risks as high carbon assets may become obsolete in the face of increasingly ambitious climate action. One approach4 to develop 2° C investing criteria took the range of 2° C scenarios as a basis to identify the relevance of different technologies and sectors for decarbonisation. The results show that the energy sector along with energy efficiency in buildings, industry and transport are of most relevance for the achievement of the 2° C limit.
