International Transition Plan Network (ITPN)

We are delighted today to publish the Terms of Reference for the Transition Finance Council and announce our Strategic Steering Group members. The Steering Group will work to help shape the future of #TransitionFinance under the Council, which was co-launched by UK Government and the City of London Corporation. The challenge ahead is significant, but as a leading financial centre, the UK is well positioned to finance this transition while creating opportunities for UK businesses. The #TransitionFinanceCouncil will enable a sustainable flow of finance towards transitioning high-emitting sectors, driving forward the roadmap set out in the #TransitionFinanceMarketReview last year. The Terms of Reference set out more detail on the Council's focus areas, governance and intended outputs.

We are delighted to announce that Kate Levick, Founding Director, International Transition Plan Network (ITPN); Associate Director, Finance & Resilience, E3G, will be giving a keynote address at our 3rd Annual Climate Transition Plans Summit, which is being held on 24 March in London. It is now critical for all companies to have a fully compliant transition plan in place, given the work of the IFRS on developing a global transition plan standard, the impact of EU climate-related directives and the importance of transition plans to the development of a global transition finance market.   The timely summit will provide practical guidance on all aspects of drafting and using a transition plan, from the perspective both of the company itself and that of the users of transition plans, such as banks, investors and other stakeholders.   The expert speaker panel at the summit will provide a detailed analysis of all the key issues in this rapidly developing area. Discussions will explore how the IFRS is working towards developing a global standard for transition plans now that the policy-setting baton has been passed to it by the Transition Plan Taskforce. Panels and presentations will examine the future of nature in transition planning, the vital role of transition plans in transition finance, and the impact of the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive on UK companies. Best practice for drafting transition plans will be shared through practical case studies, while other sessions will address legal considerations, metrics and targets, and the emerging assurance markets for transition plans.   Other speakers to date include: 🎤 Tanya Steele CBE, Chief Executive Officer, WWF 🎤 Peter Kanning, Global Head of Sustainable Finance Strategy & Implementation, HSBC 🎤 David Croft, Group Head of Sustainability, Reckitt 🎤 Nick Robins, Executive Director, Just Transition Finance Lab 🎤 Susan Hooper, Co-founder and Member of the Board, Chapter Zero 🎤 Leah R., Director of Environmental Sustainability, Aviva; Co-Chair Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) Nature Workstream The key themes that will be discussed include: ➡️ Best practice approaches to drafting transition plans ➡️ Integrating transition finance into transition plans ➡️ The impact of the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive on transition plans for UK companies ➡️ The future of nature in transition planning ➡️ Legal considerations for transition plan preparers ➡️ International developments in transition plans ➡️ Using appropriate metrics and targets ➡️ The development of the assurance market for transition plans ➡️ How investors and other stakeholders will use transition plans Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dXt4SmUD ✨ Supported by AllConfsBot✨ #TransitionPlans #GlobalTransition #NetZero

During the inaugural G20 SFWG meeting, three key priorities for 2025 were discussed and largely supported by G20 SFWG members: 1️⃣ Strengthening the global sustainable finance architecture 2️⃣ Scaling up financing for adaptation and just transitions 3️⃣ Unlocking the financing potential of carbon markets These priorities represent a commitment to driving sustainable growth, enhancing climate resilience, and supporting a just global transition. Stay tuned throughout 2025 as we follow closely the work of G20 SFWG and progress made on these priorities. 👉 For more information check out the full G20 SFWG 2025 Note on Agenda Priorities at 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dmWxKSDj 📩 To keep up with SFWG work, subscribe to the newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dCSzyXGy National Treasury of South Africa | South African Reserve Bank | G20 South Africa | UNDP
