Cibler l’échec : pourquoi les cibles des investisseurs n’assurent pas la décarbonation

The report finds that climate targets adopted by 83 global investors are largely insufficient to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the real economy, citing a lack of targets, poor quality, and limited scope. It argues that without science-based sectoral targets and regulatory oversight, these goals amount to greenwashing and fail to manage systemic climate risk.

• Current investor climate targets are largely ineffective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the real economy. Out of 83 investors analyzed, 20% have no targets at all, and most have fewer than five, which is insufficient for a comprehensive decarbonization strategy.
• The quality and scope of existing climate targets are inadequate for alignment with global climate goals. Common failures include vague definitions, limited coverage, opaque indicators, and premature claims of success.
• To avoid 'greenwashing' and fulfill fiduciary duties regarding systemic climate risk and financial stability, investors must implement science-based sectoral targets and total transparency, while regulators must ensure these targets are integrated into robust transition plans.
