About This Tool

The UNEP FI Climate Pathways Navigator empowers financial institutions to align their portfolios with climate science. By providing detailed sectoral analysis and cross-sector trade-off insights, this tool enables institutions to:

Set credible targets based on climate scenarios
Assess sector-specific emissions across power sector, steel, cement, transport, and buildings
Understand trade-offs between different sectoral decarbonization strategies
Make informed decisions about portfolio alignment with net-zero commitments

Why Sector Analysis Matters

Financial institutions play a critical role in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. Understanding sectoral pathways is essential because:

Different sectors face unique decarbonization challenges and opportunities
Portfolio-level targets require granular, sector-specific analysis
UNEP FI's frameworks emphasize science-based, transparent target setting
Comparing regional and global pathways helps identify realistic transition strategies

This tool bridges the gap between high-level climate commitments and actionable sectoral strategies.

Science-Based

All Systemic Climate Pathways are based on peer-reviewed climate science, included in the latest IPCC assessment and thereafter.
