TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre)

Established in June 2022, the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre) is a research centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) providing independent, rigorous, forward-looking research and data to enable investors to encourage and support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

The Centre develops bespoke assessment methodologies and delivers annual high-quality assessments of whether the pace of decarbonisation and targets of companies, banks and sovereigns align with the Paris Agreement goals. It also assesses if these entities have put in place the governance mechanisms and transition planning necessary to implement those targets. Transparency is a core principle of its work: all data are opensource and methodologies are published online.

The Centre is the academic partner of the Transition Pathway Initiative, an asset owner-led initiative on climate change supported by over 150 investors with US$80 trillion in combined assets under management and advice.* It is also the academic research expert of the Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks (ASCOR) project and Climate Action 100+.
