... The paper discusses the challenges of aligning investment portfolios with the Paris Agreement's decarbonisation goals, particularly for emerging markets.

Storebrand Asset Management highlight the mismatch between the rapid decarbonisation targets for developing and developed economies, emphasising that strategies like Paris aligned benchmarks may neglect the specific needs of emerging markets, potentially missing investment opportunities in critical green technologies.
