How alignment measures can support investors in the real world economy transition

What can portfolio alignment measures tell us about the state of the global transition? How can investors use those insights to manage climate risk and opportunities in portfolios through a fragmented transition?

The session will include practical insights that can strengthen decision‑making and support credible, transparent portfolio alignment for real economy transition. Through a combination of strategic framing, market insights and real investor practices, the London Climate Action Week (LCAW) session will demonstrate the strategic relevance of portfolio alignment methodologies in the context of a fragmented transition.

The session will highlight the benefits and use-cases of transparent methodologies and metrics from CDP, WWF, Bloomberg and Schroders, and explore real investor use-cases of portfolio alignment measures, supporting informed allocation, engagement and target‑setting across portfolios.
