ASCOR in practice: use cases and insights

ASCOR is an investor-led initiative launched to provide comprehensive and comparable assessments on how sovereigns are managing the low-carbon transition as well as the physical risks stemming from climate change. This report outlines use cases for the ASCOR tool, organised by user type: investors and sovereign bond issuers. We explain how these users might harness the ASCOR tool for their respective needs. The potential use cases and practical case studies are gleaned from the TPI Centre’s research and outreach through bilateral meetings, webinars and roundtables with various stakeholders. The report is designed to expand awareness of the practical applications of the ASCOR tool as well as stimulate greater use.
