Climate Portfolio Alignment for Corporate Lending in Malaysia

This report by 2DII and WWF Malaysia analyzes Malaysian banks' exposure to climate critical sectors as a source of future climate transition risk.

Applying the Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment (PACTA) climate scenario analysis tool to a pilot group of Malaysian banks, we find that the gas and coal power generation portfolio is aligned with the Sustainable Development Scenario in South East Asia. However, 8 out of the 10 climate critical technologies assessed are not aligned with the Paris Agreement goals. 

We make a series of recommendations for the implementation, improvement and actionability of PACTA for banks and supervisors in the Southeast Asia region, with supporting illustration on just transition.
