# Model Card for distilroberta-base-climate-tcfd

## Model Description

This is the fine-tuned ClimateBERT language model with a classification head for classifying climate-related paragraphs into the four TCFD recommendation categories ([fsb-tcfd.org](https://www.fsb-tcfd.org)).

Using the [climatebert/distilroberta-base-climate-f](https://huggingface.co/climatebert/distilroberta-base-climate-f) language model as starting point, the distilroberta-base-climate-tcfd model is fine-tuned on our [climatebert/tcfd_recommendations](https://huggingface.co/climatebert/tcfd_recommendations) dataset using only the four recommendation categories (i.e., we remove the non-climate-related class from the dataset).
