// . // Climate And Sustainability // Financing The Transition

What We Do

Trillions of dollars in investment will be required to transition the global economy to net zero emissions and avert a climate catastrophe.

Breakthrough decarbonization solutions are required for both energy transition and industrial decarbonization.

We help companies with the creation of new climate finance products, alignment of investment and product portfolios with the transition, and access to the much-needed financing for making the transition.

Collaborations

Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ)

As the knowledge partner to the GFANZ Secretariat, we supported the publication of five major reports that help financial institutions translate their net zero pledges into actionable, near-term, and science-based transition plans.

World Economic Forum

We are collaborating with the World Economic Forum on the Financing the Transition to a Net Zero Future (FTT) initiative, a multi stakeholder strategy to accelerate financing towards innovative climate solutions for the key hard-to-abate sectors.

First Movers Coalition (FMC)

We are supporting the FMC Finance Pillar. The FMC is a global initiative harnessing the purchasing power of companies to decarbonize seven hard-to-abate industrial sectors that currently account for 30% of global emissions.
