Climate Finance Reform Compass
CPI has created the Climate Finance Reform Compass to facilitate consensus and coordinate action among governments, civil society, and the private sector on the full range of international financial architecture reforms needed to meet the global climate challenge. It identifies pragmatic goals and milestones for action across nine thematic areas and 29 key reforms, noting the current status, key resources, and where we need to be by 2030. The themes below are used to organize and promote consistency across the individual reform topics included in the Compass. They align with the principles laid out in the COP28 UAE leaders’ declaration on a Global Climate Finance Framework. Our hope is that this information will help to focus efforts on actions where change could happen.
CPI is an analysis and advisory organization with deep expertise in finance and policy. Our mission is to support governments, businesses, and financial institutions in driving economic growth while addressing climate change.

Carbon Rating Framework
The Carbon Rating Framework is envisioned as a tool to facilitate transition finance by providing a standardized method to evaluate and compare the carbon intensity of companies. It could serve as a valuable input for financial institutions, helping them to channel capital more effectively towards projects that contribute to the global climate goals. The paper highlights areas for future research, including the potential expansion of the framework to include Scope 3 emissions and other environmental factors, as well as how credit rating agencies and banks might adopt and adapt the framework.
