How finance can unlock credible, robust and just transition plans

This input paper for the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG) seeks to:

1. Provide an assessment of the state of play of just transition efforts from real economy companies. 
2. Show what frameworks and data on just transition already exist, why this information is important and how it can be used by regulators and financiers to assess the credibility of company efforts. 
3. Explore some of the levers different financial actors can use to drive credible, robust and just transition plans.

The paper was prepared by the Just Transition Finance Lab at the Grantham Research Institute at LSE, and the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA).
