Leveraging Transition Pathways

The document argues that while transition pathways are essential for contextualizing the ambition and feasibility of corporate plans, they are underutilized by financial institutions due to complexity and resource demands. It advocates for the use of multiple complementary pathways to achieve granular results and outlines a five-step approach to simplify their selection and interpretation. To further lower barriers to adoption, RMI is developing a transition pathway repository to streamline the identification of available benchmarks for specific sectors and regions.

• Transition pathways are critical for financial institutions to assess corporate transition plans by providing context on feasibility and ambition and identifying key technologies, though no single pathway is sufficient for all needs.
• The adoption of transition pathways is currently hindered by the complexity of selection and the resources required to implement existing options.
• RMI is creating a transition pathway repository designed to reduce resource intensity and lower barriers to adoption by allowing users to easily find pathways and benchmarks for specific regions and sectors.
