FOR A JUST TRANSITION

We are engaged for a transition to net zero where no-one is left behind

As founding partner of the “Just Transition Challenge” lead by the Impact Investing Institute and the G7 impact task Force, we focus our investment strategy to deliver 3 critical elements of a just transition:

  • Advancing climate and environmental action
    For example, greenhouse gas emission mitigation, reduction and removal
  • Improving socio-economic distribution and equity
    For example, inclusive opportunities for decent jobs
  • Increasing community voices
    Through, for example, engagement and dialogue with affected communities that are often excluded and marginalised
