The interactive tool to guide your climate transition
The NZFT platform tracks financial institutions’ climate commitments, how they integrate climate considerations into governance and risk management, external engagement, and disclosure, and how those lead to material impacts in the real economy. NZFT uses 18 indicators, based on 170 standard actions benchmarked with best practices from more than 40 transition plan frameworks.
Creating real-economy impact through climate investment, portfolio decarbonization, and reduced climate risk exposure
Measuring whether climate considerations are factored into decision-making
Signaling intent to respond to the climate transition
We track major financial institutions covering around USD 315 trillion of assets, or 63% of the global financial system, spanning five investor categories—asset owners; asset managers; insurance; PE, VC, hedge funds; and banks.
The NZFT Metadata document details all datasets used to inform the NZFT. It lists the datasets and information that make up the 654 unique variables underpinning the 18 indicators.
The NZFT currently offers three views, with different levels of granularity to explore the progress of financial institutions on climate commitments.
The NZFT combines independent data and peer comparisons with CPI’s climate-finance expertise. We help organizations understand transition progress, identify priorities, and translate evidence into action and capital deployment. Our team can provide support through three complementary offerings:
