Launched in September 2020, PACTA for Banks is a free, open-source climate scenario analysis toolkit for corporate lending portfolios. Developed with the input of leading global banks, universities, and NGOs, PACTA for Banks enables users to measure the alignment of their corporate lending portfolios with climate scenarios across key climate-relevant sectors and technologies.
This technical webinar will cover the practicalities of matching a corporate lending portfolio to an asset-level data set. It is targeted towards those who will be directly involved in running the analysis. Prior coding experience is preferable, but not essential.
