Hosted by the UK Government and the Transition Finance Council, this panel discussion will explore how governments, investors and businesses can work together to create credible and investable pathways for the transition of high-emitting and hard-to-abate sectors.
The session will showcase the UK’s emerging approach to credible transition investment including the Transition Finance Guidelines and the development of sector transition plans and financing plans, comparing them to approaches taken in both advanced and developing economies.
Bringing together government, investor and international perspectives, the discussion will consider emerging lessons from the UK, their relevance across different jurisdictions, and opportunities for greater international alignment and collaboration to mobilise transition finance at scale.
CETEx engagement
Chris Skidmore, Chair of CETEx, will speak on the panel, contributing CETEx’s expertise on credible transition finance and sector-level transition planning.
His contribution will draw on CETEx’s work to support the development of credible and actionable sector transition plans and financing plans, considering how governments and the private sector can work together to translate economy-wide climate goals into practical pathways for investment and implementation.
