<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Finance will play a critical role in building a resilient\, net-zero economy in the UK\, one that is inclusive and contributes to reducing inequality across the country. COVID-19 has also reinforced the need for a recovery strategy that connects that Government’s twin goals of ‘building back greener’ and ‘levelling up’.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Growing numbers of investors and banks recognise the need to support climate action that delivers positive social impact – in other words a just transition. This event will be the official launch of the Financing a Just Transition Alliance\, a collaborative initiative of banks\, investors and other stakeholders in the UK\, set up to build on the growing momentum for a just transition and encourage practical steps forward in the run-up to COP26.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The webinar brought together leading figures from the worlds of policy\, business and finance to set out the agenda for the Alliance and identify the strategies and mechanisms that the UK will need to deploy in the next year and beyond.</p>
