It highlights the need for policy leadership to set clear baselines and expectations for market practice. The authors review current approaches, provide examples of good practice and outline ongoing challenges given recent headwinds and structural issues facing the just transition. They make recommendations for policymakers and financial actors to progress just transition integration within private finance, drawing primarily on insights from engagement with asset managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a class=\"link link--external\" rel=\"noopener\"
