Investment opportunities in the shift to a low-carbon economy. This portal brings clarity to transition investing - offering specialist knowledge, expert views and real-world stories of transition in action.​

Introduction to transition investing

The term ‘transition investing’ describes allocations that finance progress towards net zero. It covers investments in industries and infrastructure that are helping the energy transition, as well as targeting high-emitting sectors that require substantial financing to implement their climate strategies. Critical to transition investing is having a credible way to determine which companies can effectively transition.

Investing in the transition can take the form of equity or debt, as well as project financing.
