The FTSE Climate Collective Transition EMU (Economic and Monetary Union) Broad Government Bond Index is designed to measure the performance of fixed-rate, local currency and sovereign bonds issued by specific EMU participating countries. The index incorporates a weighting methodology that adjusts index weights according to each country’s relative climate assessment score, i.e., the Climate Collective Transition Assessment Methodology, based on the framework of Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks (ASCOR). Exposure to eligible Green bonds is increased.
The Climate Collective Transition Assessment Methodology is designed to capture countries' Evidence, Ambition, and Policies towards achieving the Paris Agreement Goals. This assessment methodology relies on ASCOR assessment data.
- Evidence assesses current or past performance through outcome measures like emissions and energy intensity, which cannot be directly influenced but can be affected indirectly through policies
- Ambition relates to future targets or commitments, encompassing both outcome measures like emissions and input measures such as climate finance contributions
- Policy involves input measures like green jobs strategies that have already been implemented and can be directly influenced by the government, impacting the real economy
