The IFRS Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (#ISSB) last month announced a series of moves aimed at harmonising #sustainability reporting requirements for companies, with a focus on areas including disclosure of corporate #climate transition plans and the measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) #emissions across the value chain. Currently, twenty jurisdictions worldwide have decided to use the ISSB standards or are taking steps to introduce the standards in their frameworks. These jurisdictions account for roughly 55% of global GDP, over 40% of global market capitalisation, and more than half of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this data visual, we look at the state of adoption of the standards around the world in 2024.

In 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (#ISSB) launched its two global #sustainability #reporting standards to form the global baseline for sustainability-related disclosures: IFRS S1 - General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information, and IFRS S2 - Climate-related Disclosures. Currently, twenty jurisdictions worldwide have decided to use the ISSB standards or are taking steps to introduce the standards in their frameworks. These jurisdictions account for roughly 55% of global GDP, over 40% of global market capitalisation, and more than half of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this new data visual by ESG Book's Pranjal Tomar and Molly Porter, we show the current state of adoption of the standards globally.
