Financing a Just Transition: A Business Brief

This brief from the UN Global Compact can help you understand how your organisation’s financial practices can advance a Just Transition. It begins by explaining four ways finance can contribute to this transition, such as supporting necessary data infrastructure; stewarding assets through social dialogue; allocating capital toward transition investment needs; and working collaboratively with other businesses and the public sector. It then looks at how finance can support the transition in four areas, strategy, governance, risk management, and metrics and targets. The guidance will be useful to Finance teams including Chief Finance Officers, Chief Investment Officers, and Chief Risk Officers.
