International Standards & Frameworks
The global standards and frameworks that form the foundation of sustainability reporting worldwide. These apply across jurisdictions and are increasingly referenced by national regulators.
This is a living policy library that will develop alongside the global climate disclosure landscape.
International Climate Policies
International sustainability standards provide the common language for climate disclosure. Nearly every national regulation references or builds on these frameworks. Understanding them is essential for any organisation reporting on sustainability. While municipalities are not always required to report under corporate standards, over 12,000 cities worldwide have committed to the Paris Climate Agreement, and these frameworks provide the methodologies that underpin municipal climate action plans.
