The MSCI Sustainability Institute Net-Zero Tracker
Nearly two-thirds of listed companies are on a trajectory that would warm the planet by more than 2°C (3.6°F) above preindustrial levels, reports the latest issue of the Institute’s Net-Zero Tracker, a periodic report on corporate climate progress.
Companies are likely to burn through their share of the global carbon budget for limiting the rise in average global temperatures to 1.5°C (2.7°F) by October 2026, the report finds.

Climate change dominates investors’ outlook, Stanford-MSCI Sustainability Institute survey finds
The world’s biggest institutional investors say unequivocally that climate change is likely to affect the performance of investments over the medium term, a survey by Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business and the MSCI Sustainability Institute finds.
Ninety-three percent of investors say that that climate issues are most likely to affect the performance of investments over the next two to five years, according to the survey of owners and managers of assets, a plurality (43%) of whom oversee more than USD 250 billion. At the same time, just 4% of investors say climate risks are mostly reflected in the price of financial assets, while three-quarters (72%) say such risks are somewhat reflected in asset values
