The Net-Zero Donut is a visual and holistic monitoring tool for financial players who are members of the Net-Zero Alliances. These alliances were created following COP-26 in Glasgow in 2021. The Observatory has taken up and completed the transition plan framework proposed by the alliances to analyse the alignment of players with the carbon neutrality objectives.
