Charting transition finance: mapping out the winning rules

On-demand

Transition finance is the driving force behind the global push to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, but it is particularly critical for emerging markets, where high-emission industries are deeply intertwined with economic growth. Without structured, sector-specific financial support, achieving global climate goals of net-zero by 2050 will remain out of reach. Transition finance presents a unique opportunity to scale sustainable solutions, but only if we address key hurdles such as just transition, taxonomy harmonization, and the creation of market infrastructure that is tailored to regional needs.

This webinar, part of the "Transforming Tomorrow – Empowering Emerging Markets through Transition Finance" series, will feature a practical discussion with market experts, sector leaders, and financial stakeholders. Together, we will explore how finance professionals, investors, policymakers, and corporates can collaborate to strengthen a credible, resilient transition finance market specifically designed for emerging economies. We will dive into the challenges and opportunities presented by transition finance and offer actionable insights on how to align financial strategies with the distinct needs of these markets.

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is ideal for:

  • Investors and financial institutions focused on emerging markets looking to capitalize on sustainable finance opportunities.
  • Corporate leaders in high-emission sectors seeking guidance on transition pathways and finance options.
  • Policymakers and regulators who are shaping the frameworks that will govern climate finance in developing economies.

Why Attend & What You'll Learn

Unlike other webinars that focus broadly on climate finance, this session will dive deeply into the nuances of transition finance — a rapidly evolving field that is critical for unlocking sustainable investments in developing regions. By focusing specifically on emerging markets, this webinar offers a rare opportunity to understand the unique challenges and tailored solutions required for these economies. This webinar provides practical guidance on how to navigate the transition finance landscape, capitalize on new opportunities, and help shape a more inclusive and effective global transition to net-zero.
