| Abstract Text | This thesis examines the alignment of the MSCI World Index and its constituents with net-zero emissions using the Cheap Talk Index (CTI) and Sentiment Index (OppRisk), derived from ClimateBert, and net-zero-emission metrics. Findings reveal that companies with low CTI and negative OppRisk have emission reduction targets that are out of line with NZE goals, while those with high CTI struggle to achieve their targets. The proposed classification framework categorizes most companies analyzed as Unambitious or Greenwashing. The study emphasizes the importance of aligning targets with recognized net-zero pathways, such as those recommended by the IPCC or IEA. |
