Paris Aligned Asset Owners is an outcome of the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative (PAII), which was established in May 2019 as a collaborative investor-led forum, to support investors to align their portfolios and investment activities to the goals of the Paris Agreement. PAII is coordinated by AIGCC, Ceres, IGCC and IIGCC.

The Paris Aligned Asset Owners initiative is delivered by the same four investor networks, which are supporting investors globally to implement the Net Zero Investment Framework.
