PlanetaryLedger.com — Concept Note

Important notice: PlanetaryLedger.com is a descriptive naming asset. It does not provide ratings, regulatory opinions, legal advice or investment advice. Any framework, index or dataset operated under this domain remains under the sole responsibility of the acquirer.

1. Context — from climate risk to planetary solvency

Over the 2025–2035 horizon, governments, supervisors, central banks, financial institutions and corporates are converging towards a shared need: connecting planetary boundaries and systemic risks with accounts, balance sheets and capital allocation.

Existing frameworks (NGFS, ISSB/IFRS, TNFD, SBTN, climate scenarios, nature-related risk taxonomies, social vulnerability indicators…) are rich but fragmented. The idea of a Planetary Ledger emerges as a way to describe a global register of impacts, risks, commitments and flows that affect the planet’s solvency across:

• Climate and transition risks
• Nature, biodiversity and ecosystems
• Water, resources and critical materials
• Social stability, inequality and vulnerability

PlanetaryLedger.com positions this concept in simple language that is readable for Boards, Ministries, central banks, supervisors and global institutions.

2. What a “Planetary Ledger” could represent

The Planetary Ledger is not a single database or product. It is a semantic layer that can sit above multiple initiatives and data sources, acting as a:

• Common banner for registries, dashboards, indices and APIs that track planetary pressures and resilience;
• Bridge between scientific metrics and financial/accounting language;
• Coordination point for coalitions of public, private and academic actors;
• Communication handle that policymakers, supervisors and Boards can actually pronounce and remember.

Under this banner, different actors may structure their own “books”:

• Planetary Ledger for Finance — portfolios, balance sheets, stress tests;
• National Planetary Ledger — NDCs, nature, water, social indicators;
• Sectoral Ledgers — high-impact sectors (energy, agriculture, infrastructure, tech…);
• Public / academic observatories — under a neutral, non-commercial banner.

3. Who could credibly operate under PlanetaryLedger.com?

The PlanetaryLedger.com naming asset is designed for serious, long-term operators with a mandate to work on systemic risks and extended accounting, for example:

• International organisations, coalitions or secretariats;
• Central banks, supervisors or public development banks;
• Large financial institutions and insurers (global, regional or cross-border);
• Standard-setting bodies, research consortia or academic platforms;
• Neutral, mission-driven entities mandated to host observatories or registries.

In all cases, the value of the asset comes from its ability to remain neutral, descriptive and durable over decades, even as methodologies and data sources evolve.

4. Governance, safety and neutral positioning

Any credible use of PlanetaryLedger.com should pay particular attention to:

• Clear governance over data sources, methodologies and updates;
• Transparency on limitations, uncertainties and scenario choices;
• Neutrality vs. specific commercial products, ratings or lobbying;
• Safeguards against misinterpretation as official regulation or guarantees;
• Consistency with existing frameworks (NGFS, ISSB/IFRS, TNFD, etc.).

The domain itself does not create those safeguards. It simply offers a high-signal banner that can make such governance easier to explain and anchor at senior level.

5. Value of the PlanetaryLedger.com naming asset

From a strategic standpoint, PlanetaryLedger.com can help:

• Compress narrative & coordination costs when launching or consolidating a flagship initiative;
• Anchor a concept that may otherwise be diluted across multiple technical names;
• Defend a position if the “Planetary Ledger” language becomes standard in reports, speeches or regulations;
• Offer a neutral home for multi-stakeholder work where no single existing brand fits.

It is not a replacement for scientific work, legal mandates or financial regulation. It is a high-leverage naming and coordination asset.

6. Acquisition & next steps

Typical institutional flow for this asset:

• NDA and high-level discussion of intended use;
• Access to an acquisition brief for internal stakeholders (Board, Finance, Risk, Sustainability, Legal);
• Formal offer and agreed valuation perimeter (domain alone, or potential bundle with other “Solvency / Planetary” assets);
• Escrow and transfer of the PlanetaryLedger.com domain name.

Only the domain name is transferred, unless explicitly agreed otherwise. No datasets, methodologies, trademarks or institutional mandates are included in the transfer by default.
