“A window of opportunity is open to translate investor interest and commitment into action that aligns with IPCC science and realizes net zero by 2050. That window of action is closing, so every investment must count,” reads the introduction to The Global Impact Investing Network’s latest publication, “Climate Solutions Investing in Review.” We strive to create resources that enable smarter climate investing and are proud to see our consensus-based and science-backed pre-investment methodology featured in the paper as an existing guidance available to investors.

Introducing our 2024-25 Content Working Groups! Frame’s newest Case Studies Working Group, co-led by Climate Collective, is convened to create forward-looking emissions impact case studies of climate solutions deploying in Asia and the Global South that will also examine adaptation and resilience co-benefits in a structured manner. Our new Methodology Working Group, administered in close collaboration with WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the newly formed Impact Convergence Forum, is dedicated to expanding upon our current guidance to include best practices for later-stage investors and companies. With more than 50 organizations involved—our largest cohort to date!—we are hopeful that we will create resources that meet the real-world needs of those who strive to deploy capital to solutions that have the potential to ensure a livable planet. Meet the new groups and see who’s involved over on the blog ??? https://lnkd.in/evmh8ept #ImpactAccountability #ClimateInvesting #ClimateTech #ImpactAssessment

How do you assess the potential emissions impact of a climate solution for which there is no incumbent? That is what we explored with our case study of a modular carbon capture device that can be retrofitted into commercial HVAC systems. This case study, inspired by a real investment, showcases many factors an analyst must consider:?? - How grid intensity can affect a solution’s impact potential - Challenges related to product use assumptions? - Where analysis could go even deeper.??

There isn’t an industry standard for forward-looking emissions impact assessment. Because of that, it can be challenging to know what to include—and what to exclude— to ensure novel climate solutions are assessed rigorously and transparently. That’s why we are so excited about our new series of case studies, inspired by real investments from Project Frame collaborators Future Energy Ventures, Starshot Capital, 2150, AENU, Just Climate, Climate Investment (CI), and Climate Dividends, and others. These case studies bring our methodological guidance to life, highlighting the importance of accountability and transparency by diving into challenges analysts face alongside practical steps to help others apply the framework to their own assessments.

Assessing the future impact of a climate solution inherently means making assumptions, both about the technology’s emissions and its future market penetration. However, as Nysn? Climate Investments Investment’s Solveig Sundsdal said at our last community meeting, what is most important is clearly communicating what those assumptions are, upholding our value of transparency. Hear more about Nysn? approach to impact assessment, their alignment with our methodology, and how they use software like MoreScope to facilitate their analysis over on our blog ?? https://lnkd.in/eyNKjwj4 #ImpactAccountability #ClimateInvesting #ClimateTech #GhgEmissions
