The University Pension Plan is managing material climate risks by considering prospective investments through a climate-related impact lens, according to a new report by the investment organization.
In its latest climate action plan, the UPP reemphasized its commitment to net-zero portfolio emissions by 2040 and to allocate at least $1.2 billion to climate solution investments by 2030.
During 2025, the UPP updated its comprehensive assessment of transition risk management across the existing portfolio to implement a new climate transition investment framework.
This program was designed to support the investment organization’s ability to manage impacts of climate-related risks on fund performance. It also helps ensure new mandates and co-investments align with minimum standards set by the UPP.
“This work gives us a clearer view of the portfolio’s climate transition alignment, strengthening our ability to integrate climate-related risk and opportunity management into our portfolio monitoring and engagements with investment partners,” the report said.
