Paris Agreement Compatibility Score
Paris Agreement Compatibility Score
A strategic indicator that measures the degree to which a product, service, or product portfolio aligns with the climate pathways set forth in the Paris Agreement.
Issues
To achieve this, companies need to assess the extent to which the end uses of their products are compatible with global decarbonization pathways.
While measuring induced and avoided emissions is a first step in assessing a solution’s decarbonization potential, an additional indicator is needed to evaluate its relevance in a low-carbon world.
The Method
The solution to a particular end use (e.g., getting around) can involve options with very different carbon intensities (e.g., a car or a bicycle). The Paris Agreement Compatibility Score (SCAP) assigns a score from A+ to F to a solution based on its level of compatibility with a trajectory set by the Paris Agreement.
To do this, we compare the carbon intensity of the solution (e.g., an electric car emits X gCO2e/p.km) with a scoring scale defined for the corresponding use, based on science-based trajectories (e.g., the threshold corresponding to SCAP C for passenger transport is Y gCO2e/passenger-km, which corresponds to the 2030 value of the reference trajectory).
Thus, the SCAP indicator makes it possible to:

Using the SCAP methodology, this project quantifies the climate impact of products through an independent analysis and a life-cycle approach.
FranceTV Publicité is thus updating its General Terms and Conditions of Sale and its commercial offering by highlighting the highest-rated products (A, B, or C), creating a direct link between climate performance and media performance to steer advertising investments toward products that align with these standards.
