IIGCC publishes guidance to support investors in consideration of climate solutions investments, specifically focused on renewable energy generation infrastructure.

This paper establishes guidance for investors to consider in their approach to quantifying their contribution to scaling renewable energy generation within the infrastructure asset class. It is the second in a series of asset class-specific climate solutions guidance documents released by IIGCC.

This topic has been addressed due to its outsized importance (according to leading climate scenarios) when compared to other climate solutions, in delivering a global transition to net zero in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

This document provides guidance to assist investors in their considerations of investing in climate solutions, focussing specifically on renewable energy generation infrastructure. It is designed to be consistent with the global goal established at COP28 to triple renewable installed capacity by 20301.

The guidance may be of particular use to investors who are following the Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF) or are updating objectives and targets as part of their commitments to the Paris Aligned Asset Owner (PAAO) and Net Zero Asset Manager (NZAM) initiatives.
