20/TWENTY Framework
We can see a light at the end of a tunnel, but we have to find the tunnel first

The future SCNiiC Platform
The platform aims at suggesting solutions applicable to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring no atmospheric temperature increase above 1.50 C., while ensuring climate justice for all. It provides a guide to developing a portfolio of bankable products and services that will address the challenges in achieving climate neutrality.
There is not endless time to do so. With the SCNiiC Platform we are aiming to define, design and deliver a suitable tunnel to interested parties.
20/TWENTY Framework
As a guideline use is made of the 20/TWENTY Framework, a set of highlights, developed over a period of twenty years, with the origins described in – “Blackgoo to Blockchain – Sustainability Finance in Practice – A Journey of Discovery.”
To paraphrase Shimon Peres, globally we see the objective clearly, but still need to develop the “tunnel of delivery” efficiently, in order to get there. Other than defining the required products and services to be delivered, we also have to design suitable ways to finance development and delivery.
20/TWENTY Framework - Summary
Our aim is to make the platform available as a general guide to practitioners, policy developers and students, while simultaneously serving as a strategy for delivery. The highlights framework is used to define the six sections of the platform, and the individual chapters in each section (sub-system), as set out below. In order to provide an introductory general overview, each sub-system is briefly summarised - follow the links to each section below.
Section 1
In this section, a range of generic drivers are introduced, addressing in each case the potential contribution to achieving climate neutrality.
GO TO SECTION 1 - GENERIC DRIVERS
Sections 2 to 5
These sections provide an overview of the available tools, in different categories, with which to achieve the aims set out in Section 1.
GO TO SECTION 2 - FRAMEWORKS
GO TO SECTION 3 - METHODOLOGIES
GO TO SECTION 4 - SUPPORT SYSTEMS
GO TO SECTION 5 - KNOWLEDGE BASE
Section 6
This section provides an overview of the delivery portfolio resulting from the process of combining Section 1 with Sections 2 to 5.
GO TO SECTION 6 - DELIVERY PORTFOLIO
20/TWENTY Framework - System thinking
Definition: A system
A system is a set of entities and their relationships, whose functionality is greater than the sum of the individual entities.
Definition: System Thinking
System thinking is quite simply, thinking about a question, circumstance, or problem explicitly as a set of interrelated entities.
Definition: System Architecture
System thinking can be used in a number of ways: to understand the behaviour or performance of an existing system; to imagine what might be if a system were to be changed; to inform decisions or judgements that are of a system nature; and to support the design and synthesis, which we call System Architecture.
