Climate action has become increasingly important for financial industry players over the past decade, not least for Swedish institutional investors, fund managers and banks, which are considered international leaders in sustainability work. Several industry initiatives have so far developed guidance documents to help financial actors align their portfolios and products with the so-called net zero emissions - the climate policy goal that aims to reduce climate-damaging emissions and balance them with sequestration, often with 2050 as the timeframe. By analyzing several of the key guidance documents, this study examines how the climate science discourse is integrated into the reality of financial actors, and in what ways these actors' responsibility in the climate issue is constructed. The results of the study aim to increase the understanding of the role of financial actors in the climate transition.
