Investing in a just transition - global project
For current work on financing the just transition globally, see https://justtransitionfinance.org/region/uk/
Project objectives and activities
Launched in February 2018, this project linked investors to the broad array of policy, place-based, community, labour and business efforts to deliver a just transition and explored ways of empowering community and labour groups to effectively engage with investors. It provided a resource for leading investor initiatives and the foundations for long-term action by investors and others to ensure that the climate transition contributes to the wider Sustainable Development Goals.
Project delivery and funding
The Investing in a Just Transition project was delivered in partnership with the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
The project was funded by the PRI and the Surdna Foundation in the United States.
