In this year's Sustainability Trends Report, published today, we explore both the reasons for optimism and the challenges ahead as the world seeks to tackle climate change 🌎 While there has been considerable progress on renewable energy over the past year, the planet is not yet on track to reach our climate goals. So what needs to change? Find out here: https://lnkd.in/efBvp9WA

It’s #TransitionArc launch day!   We’re excited to introduce TransitionArc: a one-stop tool to assess corporate transitions, and unlock finance at the speed and scale needed to meet global climate goals.     For the first time in the public domain, the best available corporate transition analysis has been brought together in one place. This is a game changer for #ClimateFinance, as decision makers no longer need to contend with varying assessment frameworks, multiple ratings and conflicting metrics.    Now anyone can see what ‘good’ looks like on the path to transition, and assess companies across five key metrics:   ➡️ GHG emissions ➡️ Climate targets  ➡️ Capital allocation ➡️ Governance ➡️ Policy engagement   TransitionArc will accelerate the #ClimateTransition by empowering decision makers to close the gaps between corporate commitments, disclosure and action: 🔷 Companies can prioritize green solutions and attract investment  🔷 Financial institutions can direct flows of capital to support corporate transitions  🔷 Civil society can advocate for greater and more specific corporate accountability  🔷 Governments and regulators can develop policy and accountability mechanisms Everything we do at Climate Arc is based on collaboration. TransitionArc was created in partnership with world-leading data and analysis providers including Carbon Tracker, Corporate Knights, InfluenceMap, Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) , World Benchmarking Alliance, CDP, Global Canopy, Science Based Targets initiative and The International Council on Clean Transportation. The metrics are consistent with existing climate transition frameworks, including the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT).

Alongside #TransitionArc, our new website recently went live! 🎉   Over the last two years, our vision and work at Arc have greatly evolved. At its heart, Arc is built on collaboration. With our partners, we’re creating tools, gathering insights and hosting conversations that are adding real value to the #ClimateFinance ecosystem, and driving us toward collective #Climate goals. There’s much more to be done, but we have come a long way. We needed a website and brand to reflect that. Designed by Applied Works, we’ve launched a new brand that expresses our dynamic, creative and innovative approach to the climate finance challenge – focused on making novel connections, and effectively engaging decision makers with clarity and impact. And as we grow, we have more and more tangible work to accompany our vision. Our new website is a clearer, more detailed showcase of that work, and the collaborations that make it possible, across our strategic pillars: Pathways, Analysis and Capacity. You can now find out more about our: 💸 Grants: We fund analysis, datasets, training, and other toolkits that support climate finance decision making.  💡 Insights: We create maps that show the current climate finance landscape, to deepen our understanding of barriers, scope and solutions.  📈 Tools: We build tools that improve access to the best climate data and analysis, to drive climate-aligned decision making in the wider economy.  👥 Team: From finance professionals to data experts, we’re a diverse team committed to our common goal.    Huge thanks to the Applied Works team for their design and development work, on this and on #TransitionArc. 🔗 Visit the website here: https://climatearc.org/
