Planet Tracker is a London-based not-for-profit think tank researching how environmental risk translates into financial risk and what that means for investors, markets, and society.[1]
History and work
[edit]Planet Tracker was founded in 2018 as a sister organisation to Carbon Tracker.[2]
The think tank works across sectors including food, oceans, textiles, plastics, and petrochemicals. Its research has been credited with helping to “align capital markets with planetary boundaries”.[3]
Planet Tracker co-leads the Technical Advisory Group of Nature Action 100, an investor-led engagement initiative promoting stronger corporate action on biodiversity loss.[4] In 2023, its seafood traceability research was incorporated into an investor campaign launched with FAIRR, UNEP FI, World Wide Fund for Nature, and the World Benchmarking Alliance.[5]
In 2024, Planet Tracker coordinated a Petrochemical Investor Statement backed by 88 investors with $7.48 trillion in assets under management, including Legal & General Investment Management, Pictet Group, Nordea Asset Management, and Achmea Investment Management.[6] The statement urged major petrochemical companies such as ExxonMobil, Chevron Corporation, TotalEnergies, PetroChina and Saudi Aramco to support a legally binding plastics treaty and to avoid obstructive lobbying.[7]
Planet Tracker has also proposed financial innovations such as the Deforestation-Linked Sovereign Bond.[8] Its 2021 report recommended linking bond coupons to deforestation outcomes; Uruguay’s subsequent sovereign bond framework adopted this approach, tying interest payments to climate and forest-related targets.[9]
In the media
[edit]Planet Tracker’s research has been featured in major outlets including the Financial Times, The Guardian, Bloomberg L.P., and Reuters.[10][11][12][13][14][15] Its work has also been cited by financial institutions such as Rockerfeller Asset Management and BNP Paribas Asset Management.[16][17]
Investor coalitions have drawn on Planet Tracker’s analysis when filing shareholder resolutions. For example, ShareAction and others referenced its Fixing Nitrogen report in a resolution at Yara, calling for science-based Scope 3 emissions targets.[18]
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has profiled Planet Tracker’s methods as giving investors “the tools and sector knowledge they need to drive long-lasting change in their portfolios and in the broader economy”.[19] The World Benchmarking Alliance has described its analytics as redefining “how financial and environmental data interact” to improve decision-making.[20]
A 2025 report by the European Parliament’s environment committee cited “High and Dry: How Water Issues Are Stranding Assets” – a 2022 analysis by Carbon Disclosure Project and Planet Tracker – as evidence of burgeoning water-related financial threats.[21]
