The Financing a Just Transition Alliance

In November 2020, the Grantham Research Institute established the UK’s Financing a Just Transition Alliance (FJTA), which brings together over 50 banks, investors and financial institutions with universities and trade unions to translate the growing commitment to a just transition across the financial sector into real world impact. The Alliance presented the findings of the first year of its collaboration at COP26. One result of its work has been the establishment of the Just Transition Working Group (which the Institute co-chairs) as part of the UK Government’s Transition Plan Task Force. Current priorities involve looking at sector- specific just transition finance priorities in agriculture and in housing.
