Financing the Future: CPI’s Net Zero and Sustainable Finance Integrity Platform
As the financial sector starts to mainstream climate action into its strategy and operations, we need to address four fundamental questions to ensure a credible path to net zero by 2050:
- Where are we? What is the current state of climate finance by geography and sector.
- Where are we currently headed? What is our current climate finance pathway based on announced commitments by public and private entities.
- Where do we need to be? What is the gap between current commitments and commitments that would actually produce net zero by 2050.
- How do we get there? What policies and implementation tools would help shift financial systems towards credible alignment and maximize investment opportunities.
At CPI, our work helps governments, businesses, and financial institutions answer each of these four questions by:
Understanding and defining the integrity of commitments—and their real economy impacts—through the development of assessment frameworks and methods.

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.
