Metric Types

Exposure Metrics

PACTA assesses the financial portfolio's exposure to high- and low-carbon technologies across climate-relevant sectors. This assessment can be used to approximate the portfolio's relative exposure to the economic activities that are impacted by the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Alignment Metrics

By comparing the investment plans of companies to the trajectories outlined in climate scenarios, measures of alignment with these scenarios can also be calculated.

Power, Fossil Fuels and Automotive

To assess the level of climate alignment, 5-year production trajectories of each sector are compared to the decarbonization pathways as defined in climate scenarios. This assessment is made for power, fossil fuels and automotive sectors, for which forward-looking technology road maps are available. Current production plans are compared to climate scenarios.

Aviation, Shipping, Cement, Steel

No technology road maps exist for aviation, shipping, cement and steel sectors. For these sectors, an analysis of the required changes in emissions intensity is conducted.
