To address rising climate risks and meet the Paris Agreement goals, all economic activities and industries must urgently decarbonise. Emission-intensive industries are key to this effort. A flexible, inclusive, and credible transition finance market can support this rapid transformation. A credible transition plan is essential for accessing transition finance. It should explain how an entity plans to decarbonise and the strategies it will use. This attracts investors to support the entity’s mid-to-long-term transition, helping assess their progress, ambition, and credibility. A detailed plan reduces greenwashing, carbon lock-in, and delayed climate action, while enhancing the integrity of global and domestic transition finance markets.
This report explores the role of transition finance in the power sector within the context of national carbon goals, highlighting the importance of robust transition plans.
