Capital flows are a powerful driver of technologies that accelerate global decarbonization, yet their potential is constrained by legacy data. Financed emissions accounting is emerging as a standard tool to measure the carbon impact of investment and lending portfolios and to guide capital toward real-world decarbonization. Advances in highly granular, near-real-time geospatial data now provide unprecedented visibility into asset-level emissions, creating new opportunities for targeted, high-impact investment. Hosted and moderated by Climate TRACE, this panel examined the state of adoption, why financed emissions matter beyond disclosure, and how advanced data can help direct capital toward reducing emissions in the most critical sectors and locations. PANELISTS — Gavin McCormick (moderator), Co-founder, Climate TRACE and WattTime — Gerhard Mulder, CEO and Co-founder, Climate Risk Services (CRS) — Alex MacGillivray, Executive Director, Joint Impact Model (JIM) — Arjun Ganguly, Database Team Lead, Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) — Thomas White, Manager, RMI's Center for Climate-Aligned Finance
