Organisational context

Positions

CPI's Global Landscape is the dataset institutional capital uses to size and analyse the climate-finance market.

Active initiatives

Annual Landscape report; Energy Finance; Climate Finance Tracker.

Pressures

Investor demand for quality-signal attributes in CDR finance data.

Specific alignment

Why this recipient benefits: Integrating per-tonne evidentiary disclosure status as a CPI-tracked attribute in Global Landscape of Climate Finance transforms the reference dataset institutional capital uses. A CPI technical note positioning proof-pack disclosure as a climate-finance quality signal populates the market with a computable quality column.

Why now: Annual Landscape publication cycle (next edition ~Nov 2026).

The ask: CPI technical note on per-tonne evidentiary disclosure as climate-finance quality signal.

Think tank: Climate Policy Initiative (CPI)
Target program: Climate Finance
Key contacts: CPI climate-finance leadership

Why this think tank

CPI's Global Landscape of Climate Finance is the reference data set for international climate capital flows. Proof-pack-equivalent disclosure as a CPI-tracked finance attribute would reshape institutional capital's analysis of CDR investability.

The ask

Integration of per-tonne evidentiary disclosure status as a CPI-tracked attribute in Global Landscape of Climate Finance.

Deliverable

A CPI technical note: 'Per-tonne evidentiary disclosure as a climate-finance quality signal'.
