This input paper, produced by the Just Transition Finance Lab at the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the World Benchmarking Alliance, aims to provide an assessment of the current just transition efforts from real economy companies, highlighting existing frameworks and data.

In addition, it explores the tools available to financial actors to drive credible, robust, and just transition plans. Key findings from this paper can enhance the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group’s transition finance framework.

The paper presents the following key findings:

  • Practical approaches to integrating just transition principles in transition plans are emerging, and these can be further streamlined across G20 countries.
  • The G20 can play a critical role in making sure transition plans are just by advancing common frameworks, sharing examples of emerging good practices, designing financial policies, and addressing the implications for international value chains.
  • Just transition assessments can show where gaps exist for companies and in turn support financial actors in their capital allocation and investment engagement activities.
  • Contextual factors are important when assessing how companies are integrating just transition.
  • Financial institutions can use a number of levers to drive companies’ implementation of a just transition.
