Climate Finance & InvestmentGovernance, Reporting & Transition

A written course on attributing emissions to a lending and investment book — what the method asks of you, where the data gives out, and how to report a number you can defend.

A financial institution emits very little itself. Almost everything that matters sits in what it lends to and invests in — Scope 3, Category 15, and the hardest number on the balance sheet to produce honestly.

This course works through the attribution method one stage at a time, using a single mid-sized lending book as the running example. Move through the chapters in order the first time; afterwards each stands alone as reference.
