Transition Finance: what is it and why is it needed?

OECD

Global environmental emergencies such as climate change call for us to put our money where our mouth is. An increasing number of governments, companies and financial institutions have committed to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Is that enough to help us meet the goal of the Paris Agreement of limiting the average global temperature increase to 1.5 °C? If not, what more can be done to bridge this gap? That's where Transition Finance steps in. Transition finance will be one of the key topics discussed at the upcoming OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment (5-7 October 2022). Listen in to learn about transition finance - what it is, why it is needed and what the key challenges are.
