Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker are two leading not-for-profit financial think tanks working to support a Paris-aligned, nature-positive global economy. Through research and investor engagement, we influence financial markets and corporates worldwide to accelerate change across global markets.
We are a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of finance, sustainability and public interest. Our staff bring expertise across financial analysis, energy, nature, data, policy, communications, operations and stakeholder engagement. Together, we produce research and analysis designed to inform capital allocation and support better decision-making across global markets.
Carbon Tracker examines the financial implications of the energy transition, including the risks associated with high-cost, carbon-intensive fossil fuel assets. Its work has helped embed the concepts of the “carbon bubble”, “unburnable carbon” and “stranded assets” into the financial and environmental lexicon.
Planet Tracker works to align capital markets with planetary boundaries. Its research focuses on the financial risks and opportunities arising from natural capital degradation and the transition to a nature-positive economy, with a focus on key global value chains across food, land and ocean systems.
Since 2023, Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker have operated within one corporate structure, sharing governance, administration and operational support.
The Group is mainly funded through philanthropic donations from European and US foundations, with a small but growing share of income from consulting and financial institutions.
We also work collaboratively with environmental NGOs, including As You Sow, ShareAction and Client Earth, to support share objectives and bring climate and nature-related financial analysis to wider market audiences.
We have around 40 staff based in London and several consultants working remotely around the world.
