An updated version of the Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF) is now open for consultation until 24 April, the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) has highlighted.
NZIF has become the most widely used guidance by investors that have set voluntary net-zero commitments since it was first released in 2021. The updated version, NZIF 2.0, aims to make life easier for investors by bringing together the wide ranges of resources available to them in one place, with each element supporting real economy emissions reductions.
NZIF 2.0 incorporates some revised target terminology and criteria as well as updated guidance on asset classes. The resource also summarises best practices shared by investors, collected from three years of implementation, converting them into more than 40 potential actions an investor can take.
NZIF 2.0 and the consultation can be accessed here.
