ANNOUNCEMENTS
New report released examining alignment of Japanese equity market with the 2°C climate goal
-Japanese market falling short of Paris Climate Agreement-


This report compares the energy and technology exposure of the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) with the 2°C roadmap developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The analysis is based on a translation of this climate scenario into “2°C benchmarks” for investment portfolios, focusing on a 5-year window: 2016-2021. A 2°C portfolio for TOPIX represents the relative amount of energy/technology which TOPIX companies should produce/use to achieve the 2°C target under the IEA 2°C scenario.
