Investment in emerging green technologies like carbon capture and green hydrogen will bring opportunities to secure energy supply chains, boost economic growth and accelerate decarbonization.
Investment in emerging green technologies like carbon capture and green hydrogen will bring opportunities to secure energy supply chains, boost economic growth and accelerate decarbonization.
New applications of carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies could reduce exposure to carbon transition risks if policy and innovation bring down high costs and logistical barriers.
The clean energy technology needed for net zero futures of steelmaking, aviation and other industries is drawing investment, but a lot more is needed to transform these sectors.
Investment in areas such as carbon capture and green hydrogen will bring opportunities for sectors like steel and shipping where technological limits and costs have stymied decarbonization.
In this cross-sector rating methodology, we explain our general principles for assessing environmental, social and governance risks in our credit analysis for all sectors globally.
In this methodology supplement, we explain our general approach to assigning carbon transition indicator scores, which assess entities’ carbon transition risk using a set of characteristics that we consider to be relevant and material for credit analysis in certain enterprise sectors.
Net zero assessments provide an independent and comparable view on the strength of an entity’s carbon emissions reduction plans compared to a global net zero pathway. They incorporate an entity’s ambition, the implementation of its plan and its governance of greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
Our second party opinion assessment framework explains how we provide second party opinions of green, social and sustainability financial instruments or financing frameworks following either a use of proceeds or sustainability-linked approach.
Our heat map of environmental risk includes 90 sectors with about $82 trillion in rated debt. It reflects our assessment of the credit materiality of environmental risks for sectors across rating groups.
Our heat map of social risk includes 90 sectors with about $82 trillion in rated debt. It reflects our assessment of the credit materiality of social considerations for sectors across rating groups.

The technology has increasing potential to improve ESG data reporting and compliance, help supply chains meet sustainability goals and foster product innovation.
Policy support could speed up development of emerging green technologies, creating opportunities and risks in carbon-intensive sectors.
The climate finance gap for emerging markets is large, with significant regional variations. Closing the gap will involve scaling up public and private investment to unprecedented levels.
To adapt effectively to climate risks, cities need to increase the resilience of their infrastructure and the adaptive capacity of their citizens to maintain a robust economy.
Offsets can play a role in financing investments to achieve net-zero targets. But their use can also pose financial and reputational risks if not applied as part of a credible, science-based approach.
Aging populations and slower productivity growth in the region will create a significant drag on economic growth and public finances, especially in China.
Female workforce participation boosts global income but gender parity remains far away
Green tech and climate finance will drive ESG credit impact against a complex policy backdrop
COP28 climate summit highlights carbon transition risks for emerging markets
One-day summit in Dubai to get the latest insights on region’s sustainable finance markets post-COP28. Hear from our experts about the challenges posed by tightening global financial conditions, dynamic geopolitical landscape, and the critical need for decarbonization.
