The evolving role of transition bonds

Highlights from our 2024 event 'Transition Finance and the Path to Industrial Responsibility'
Can Transition Finance Bridge the Gap to Net Zero and Catalyse Business Transformations?
Transition finance is emerging as a practical channel for investors aiming to align capital deployment with climate targets, without overlooking sectors critical to the global economy. For emissions-intensive industries that fall outside the scope of traditional green finance, instruments like transition bonds offer a credible pathway to support well-defined decarbonisation strategies.
While questions around transparency have surfaced, some examples illustrate how transition finance can be applied rigorously. These instruments enable investors to engage with high-impact sectors on measurable transition goals, combining financial performance with long-term climate and social relevance.
This high-level dinner briefing from the Financial Times, in partnership with JTI, will examine the practical lessons learned from early use cases of transition bonds and how these instruments are adapting to play a larger role in the global sustainability agenda.
