Transition finance

Compare national policies on Transition finance across jurisdictions, through progress, institutions, and expectation structures.

What it is

A framework that channels finance to help high-emitting industries transition to decarbonization in stages — including taxonomies, transition bonds and disclosure of transition plans.

Implications for companies

Credible transition plans and disclosure affect financing costs and investor assessment. Standards are being built to avoid greenwashing.

Differences by country

The EU defines criteria for "sustainable" via its taxonomy. Japan has sectoral transition-finance roadmaps and climate transition bonds. Approaches differ by country.

What to watch

How to ensure the credibility of a transition — standards, third-party verification and disclosure — is the shared question.
