There remains a critical need for significant amounts of public and private investment to be directed towards activities and entities that drive real-world, economy-wide decarbonization.

Transition finance is required across the whole economy to bring about a swift and orderly attainment of net zero goals without jeopardizing financial stability and just transition considerations.

The U.K. has an ambition to become a global hub for transition finance, with the U.K. government commissioning the independent Transition Finance Market Review (TFMR) to examine barriers and solutions to unlocking transition finance at scale.

The TFMR’s report was published today.¹ Its recommendations propose a model for, and the necessary ingredients of, a successful transition finance market in the U.K. Such a market would both serve the U.K. and position it as a leading global hub for transition finance, in particular supporting emerging markets and developing economies as they transition to net zero.
