New Guide for Assessing Avoided Emissions Across Asset Classes by WBCSD, Prime’s Project Frame, and Impact Convergence Forum
Prime Coalition’s Project Frame is proud to share Avoided Emissions & Climate Investing: A Guide for Investors and Businesses, a groundbreaking guide produced in close collaboration with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the Impact Convergence Forum (ICF).
This guide provides a clear and comprehensive framework for navigating existing methodological approaches for assessing forward-looking climate impacts and reporting avoided emissions, and represents a pivotal step forward in the fight against climate change.
It was developed through a year-long, intensive collaboration between Project Frame’s 2024-2025 Methodology Working Group—its largest cohort yet, including over 40 investors dedicated to climate—and members of WBCSD and the ICF.
The guide includes an in-depth analysis of points of convergence and divergence between Frame and WBCSD’s methodologies, and practical use-cases of the two developed by ICF– with the intention of providing clarity on how and when to use each methodology across asset classes, stages, solution types, and more.
