Luxembourg 2021

Climate Scenario Analysis 

In 2021, the Luxembourg financial sector is given a unique opportunity to run a so-called “climate scenario analysis” in order to understand its climate path.  This analysis is free of charge, confidential and is supported by the Luxembourg Government.  

The analysis will be performed using the methodology PACTA, developed by the not-for-profit think tank 2° Investing Initiative (2DII). The whole exercise will be coordinated by the Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative (LSFI) with the technical support of 2DII.

Would you like to know more about this exercise and how to participate? Do not miss the launch webinar where the analysis, its objectives and methodology was explained.
