Just transition

Asset owners, industry experts and market practitioners came together at last week’s Impact Investor Forum to share their experiences and talk about the obstacles they face when navigating a just transition.

Kieron Boyle, CEO of the Impact Investing Institute, talks to Paula Garrido about the Just Transition Criteria, a practical tool aimed at guiding investors on incorporating just transition principles into their investment strategies.

For pension funds and other institutional investors, the concept of a just transition is becoming increasingly important. While there are plenty of challenges ahead, there are also opportunities to make a real difference.

Backed by the UN Environment Programme Finance Institute, the framework offers investors metrics on how to assess the impacts of investing in climate adaptation and resilience.
