Measuring the Private Capital Response to Climate Change: A Proposed Dashboard

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative proposes a methodological approach and analytical framework for a dashboard designed to measure the speed and nature of private capital shifts toward a zero-carbon, climate-resilient economy, aligning with the Paris Agreement.

• The proposed dashboard framework is designed to track systemic progress in private capital shifts using three primary factors: sentiment and integration (investor intent and decision making), and flows (primary financial flows in the real economy and secondary flows in the financial system). It aims to provide market participants, such as banking, insurance, listed equities, and bonds, with an overview of performance and the ability to measure actions against performance thresholds.
• The implementation of the proposed dashboard faces two primary limitations: existing data gaps that prevent the full realization of aggregate indicators, and a lack of clearly defined targets and benchmarks necessary to assess the scale and speed of progress across different financial markets and actors.
