Abstract: Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks (ASCOR) is an investor-led initiative launched to provide comprehensive and comparable assessments on how countries are managing the low-carbon transition as well as the physical risks stemming from climate change. ASCOR aims to inform, support and facilitate investment decision-making, especially by sovereign bondholders, and enable a more explicit consideration of climate change at the national level. In 2023, following a public consultation, the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre) at the London School of Economics (LSE), launched the ASCOR framework: methodology note Version 1.0 and the ASCOR tool, which included the first assessments of 25 pilot countries. In 2024, this was expanded to 70 countries, and in 2025, to 85 countries, using updated versions of the methodology note (Version 1.1 and Version 1.2), respectively. The TPI Centre conducted a second public consultation between December 2025 and February 2026 to revisit the framework and gather feedback on larger proposed methodological changes than in previous versions.
