Banking Spotlight: From policy regimes to banking commitments - Opportunities for mainstreaming just transition in bank transition plans

Register in advance here to join this event online via Zoom

This event aims to gather insights on how bank transition plans can serve as a vehicle for embedding just transition principles across climate-related financing. As financial intermediaries, banks are uniquely positioned to shape how climate finance flows, and to whom — with the potential to maximise benefits and minimise risks not just for their clients, but for supply chain workers, local communities, and vulnerable groups affected by climate-related activities.

A panel discussion will explore three interconnected themes: the role of international standard-setters in advancing just transition considerations within sustainability reporting frameworks; national regulators’ expectations for how just transition is reflected in bank transition plans; and the practical opportunities and challenges banks face in turning these principles into action.
