Carbon Tracker

Carbon Tracker is an independent financial think tank that carries out in-depth analysis to help institutional investors and individuals understand the future risks and opportunities of investing in fossil fuel-exposed projects and companies.

This groundbreaking approach takes account of the global limit of cumulative carbon emissions that must be abided in order to prevent warming the planet beyond a 2˚C rise (known as the ‘global carbon budget’). Scientists believe that surpassing the 2˚C rise would result in a destabilization of the planet’s climate. Given the global climate budget, a transition away from fossil fuels is unfolding, resulting in significant impacts on the future value of fossil fuel-exposed assets.

Carbon Tracker’s ground-breaking research is of value to large institutional investors, such as pension funds, banks, insurance companies, as well as to shareholders and government regulators in deciding how best to proceed in this heretofore unknown world of rapid climate change.

Carbon Tracker’s reports cover such topics as:

• power and utilities

• oil and gas corporations

• power and utilities

• energy transition
