Financing a Just Transition to Net Zero

In this session, Professor Nick Robins will focus on why finance is focusing on the just transition, what financial institutions are doing, and what needs to happen on the road to COP27 in late 2022. To be successful, climate action needs to deliver positive social impacts for workers and communities, particularly in developing countries. This is the agenda of the just transition which was recognized as a critical strategy at the Glasgow COP26. Governments as well as business and trade unions along with civil society have a critical role to play in making the transition fair for all. The financial sector can also play a key role, as investors, commercial banks, and development banks.
