Emissions Accounting for the Financial Sector
XRB PCAF webinar: GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard for the Financial Industry
The XRB is developing a climate-related disclosures framework for Aotearoa New Zealand based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The TCFD’s latest guidance recommends that asset owners should use the PCAF Standard, or a comparable methodology, when they “disclose GHG emissions for assets they own and the weighted average carbon intensity (WACI) for each fund or investment strategy, where data and methodologies allow”.
This webinar aims to help inform climate reporting entities and others about the PCAF Standard, as a way to assess and disclose GHG emissions of loans and investments.
