This executive summary outlines a framework for identifying trustworthy financial activities that support a low-carbon transition aligned with the Paris Agreement. It introduces a 'Transition label' to distinguish genuine decarbonization efforts from 'greenwashing' and provides a classification system for entities and economic activities based on their compatibility with a 1.5°C warming limit.

  • The framework establishes five core principles for trustworthy low-carbon transitions: carbon emission trajectories must align with a 1.5°C temperature goal (net-zero by 2050 and nearly halved by 2030), emission targets must be science-based, carbon offsets are not counted, technical feasibility takes precedence over economic competitiveness, and actions must be based on concrete indicators rather than vague promises.
  • Economic activities are categorized into five types to determine their eligibility for labels: 'Near-zero emission' (already near zero), 'Zero-carbon transition' (needed after 2050 with a clear 1.5°C path), 'Non-transitionable' (needed after 2050 but no clear 1.5°C path), 'Temporary transition' (needed now but to be phased out by 2050), and 'Stranded' (inconsistent with climate goals but have low-carbon alternatives).
