Partner investor networks
The Paris Aligned Investment Initiative is a collaborative investor-led global forum enabling investors to align their portfolios and activities to the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Aligned Investment Initiative (PAII) was established in May 2019 by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC). As of March 2021, the initiative has grown into a global collaboration supported by four regional investor networks – AIGCC (Asia), Ceres (North America), IIGCC (Europe) and IGCC (Australasia).
110 investors representing $33 trillion in assets have engaged in the development of the Net Zero Investment Framework through the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative.
Introduction
The Paris Aligned Investment Initiative enables investors across the globe in supporting a net zero and resilient future.
The international investor-led forum has three key areas of focus:
- Driving net zero investing commitments – by asset managers through the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative and by asset owners through the PAII Net Zero Asset Owner Commitment.
- Supporting investors to implement commitments, using the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative’s Net Zero Investment Framework.
- Collaborating globally as the forum for AIGCC, Ceres, IGCC, IIGCC and the investment community to develop and support further practical approaches to enable Paris aligned investing.
AO Commitment
22 asset owners, with $1.2 trillion in assets, have committed to achieve net zero alignment by 2050 or sooner, drawing on the Net Zero Investment Framework to deliver these commitments.
These new and enhanced commitments are complemented by a number of asset managers who are already working with clients on net zero alignment. Many of these asset managers have already made net zero commitments through the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative.
