Joint Impact Model Foundation

🌍 October 24th is the International Day of Climate Action! A reminder that ambition alone won’t solve the climate crisis, our action will. The International Day of Climate Action is a global call to confront the climate crisis with urgency, equity, and ambition. This day began as a grassroots movement in 2009, and it’s grown into a global moment to demand bold climate leadership. Since then, this day has become a rallying point for: 🔹Raising awareness about the science and social dimensions of #climateChange 🔹Mobilizing communities to take local action from tree planting to clean energy campaigns 🔹Advocating for policy change that centers equity, resilience, and sustainability 🔹Highlighting the voices of frontline communities most affected by climate impacts Read more: https://lnkd.in/gexndcUf 📌At the JIM Foundation, we contribute to this change through actions such as helping provide transparent emissions reporting. From data that drives accountability, to partnerships rooted in equity and ambition. International Day of Climate Action is a day that bridges grassroots energy with global policy momentum. Together we’re not just modeling impact. We’re mobilizing it. #InternationalDayOfClimateAction #ClimateJustice #GHGReporting #SustainabilityLeadership #DataForImpact #NatureDays #Greendays #SDGs #Goal13

Last week, the JIM had the pleasure of participating in "Mobilizing Together: Sustainable Finance Conference 2025," a joint initiative with The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, Sri Lanka Banks' Association's Sustainable Banking Initiative, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, FMO - Dutch entrepreneurial development bank, and DAI. Rebekah Sharp from the JIM team delivered three sessions on financed emissions and moderated a panel discussion featuring insights from practitioners at Sri Lankan banks who have already begun the journey of calculating their financed emissions.   JIM's first sessions focused on the practical application of various methods to calculate financed emissions, using different case studies to highlight the importance of client engagement in portfolio emission calculations.   On day three of the workshop, the sessions focused on steps to take after calculating a portfolio's financed emissions and the role of the Just Transition in guiding these steps. JIM's final program featured a lively panel discussion with Nuwan Pathirana Kumudari Peiris, and Surekha Kulasekera, where attendees heard from their peers about the challenges and opportunities in calculating their bank/NFBIs financed emissions. Although reporting in line with SLFRS S2 is not mandatory for FIs and NBFIs until 2027, it is crucial to get ahead of the curve and start implementing systems so that financial institutions in Sri Lanka are well-equipped for compliance and well-positioned for climate finance. This workshop will serve as a catalyst for further capacity-building efforts in Sri Lanka on climate-related finance disclosure and climate finance. If you are interested in supporting further capacity-building efforts on carbon accounting in Sri Lanka, please contact Rebekah Sharp at [email protected].   We extend our gratitude to all attendees, colleagues, and shareholders who played vital roles in making this workshop a success!

🌱 Tracking Financed Emissions with JIM🌏 In 2024, Invest International used the JIM to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) linked to their investments, this covered Scope 1, 2, and 3 (upstream) GHG emissions 📘 Emission intensities amongst Invest International's portfolio sectors changed slightly from 2023 to 2024. Specifically the emission intensity for Manufacturing sector increased while in Agri-Food sector decreased, reflecting a possible portfolio change. Invest International also included a benchmark of their financed emissions throughout the past three years.

🌍⚡️ A new chapter in global energy! For the first time, renewable energies have outpaced coal in global electricity generation. 🌞🌬️Solar and wind are no longer the future, they’re the present, supplying most of the world rising electricity demand and reshaping the energy landscape. According to Ember’s latest report, renewables met 83% of the world’s rising electricity demand in the first half of 2025, led by a 33% surge in solar and a steady 7% rise in wind. 📄 Full report: https://lnkd.in/eBETDfm5 This shift isn’t just technical, it’s transformational. We see this as a call to action: on climate accountability, transparent reporting, and on empowering organizations to track their impact with clarity and purpose.

Live now!!! 🎉 Celebrating a major milestone from the International Transition Plan Network! 👏Congratulations to International Transition Plan Network (ITPN) on the launch of the Interactive Map on Global Transition Plan Requirements! This is a timely and great tool that will help tracks the evolving landscape of transition plan disclosures. As global interest in transition plans is reaching new heights, this map offers clear overview of where jurisdictions stand including: 🔹 Mandatory: rules, regulations, or guidance already in place 🔹 Upcoming: mandatory rules under development 🔹 Voluntary: guidance encouraging disclosure With 37 jurisdictions adopting ISSB standards and over half of the G20 moving toward mandatory disclosure, this map is a vital resource for anyone navigating climate-related reporting. At the JIM Foundation, we’re proud to spotlight tools that advance transparency and climate ambition. This map is a powerful step toward global convergence, we encourage our network to explore it, share updates Visit the map here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eYYHDNEY #ClimateDisclosure #TransitionPlans #ISSB #SustainabilityLeadership #JIMFoundation #PolicyInnovation

📢 The JIM has been officially listed in the Impact Performance Reporting Norms, developed by Impact Frontiers, as a recommended tool for calculating attributed impacts. These norms help investors and funders report their impact in a clear and consistent way and JIM is proud to be part of that effort. #JIM helps organizations measure impact indicators such as GHG, job creation, and economic value linked to their investments. The JIM has an attribution model for used and implement methodology aligned with PCAF. Curious about how we can help your institution measure impact and attribution? Feel free to reach out or book a demo. Our team is always happy to help.

🌍 Yesterday the JIM Foundation attended the ILX Forum 2025, a gathering of global development finance leaders focused on mobilizing private capital for sustainable growth and climate transition across in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (#EMDEs). Hosted by ILX, the #forum brought together MDBs, DFIs, pension funds, and policymakers to explore how blended finance and co-investment strategies can unlock impact at scale. Special thanks to ILX Fund for organizing such forward-looking dialogues and to all the partners driving smart investment around the world. We were even able to reconnect with our former colleague Kuan Ying Lee, who is now using her data analyst skills as a Sustainability Analyst at ILX.

🌊Today we celebrate world Maritime Day!🌍 Chosen by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and approved by its Council during the 132nd session, this year’s theme “Our Ocean, Our Obligation, Our Opportunity”, reflects on the goal of IMO in protecting the oceans and managing marine resources. The theme also calls on all of us to recognize the ocean’s central role in sustaining life, livelihoods, and the global economy. The Ocean produces half the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate, and enables over 80% of global trade. 🌍However, the issues affecting our oceans like rising global temperatures and large volumes of pollution require urgent data-driven action. This theme resonates with us at the JIM Foundation. Why? Because maritime-linked sectors, from shipping and logistics to coastal agriculture and fisheries, contribute to climate footprints. We believe that understanding those footprints is the first step toward reducing them, especially for investors in industries whose supply chains rely heavily on maritime transport and ocean-linked resources. 🔗Get a broader overview of Maritime day here: https://lnkd.in/daqQ-RV.
