Our #JustTransitionCriteria are a ‘first of its kind’ practical tool for fund managers who want to invest in a transition to a net zero world that prioritises the needs of the planet and the people living on it. The #JustTransitionFinanceChallenge, the community of practice that co-created the Criteria, has grown to more than 25 global financial institutions with over £5 trillion of assets, or assets under management. We have had interest in the Criteria from more than 250 organisations and individuals and five organisations are currently piloting the Criteria. So why should you use them? They make it easier for fund managers to design financial products that can deliver on the three critical elements of a just transition, as defined by the G7-backed Impact Taskforce (or help them identify investment products and solutions that are already aligned with a just transition): ✅ Advancing climate and environmental action – including greenhouse gas emission mitigation, reduction and removal ✅ Improving socio-economic distribution and equity – through, for example, inclusive opportunities for decent jobs ✅ Improving community voice – through, for example, engagement and dialogue with affected communities that are often excluded and marginalised One of the organisation piloting the Criteria is Lombard Odier Investment Managers, the asset management business of the Lombard Odier Group, which has used our Just Transition Criteria to develop a sustainable private credit strategy providing catalysing capital that allows climate solution providers to scale their environmental impact, while creating new decent job opportunities. You can read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eS5krjXZ If you would like to find out more about our work on the just transition, reach out here or speak to our programme lead David Krivanek. #justtransition #impactinvesting #casestudy #example

What is the role of fixed income in the just transition? By the early 2030s, more than $4.5 trillion of annual investments will be required to achieve the transition to net zero according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). With the total market for bonds amounting to almost $100 trillion globally, there has been increasing momentum to use bond instruments to help finance the transition to a net zero carbon global economy. At the Impact Investing Institute, we are focussed on ensuring that the move to a net zero carbon global economy is fair and inclusive to all. So we recently partnered with the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing on a roundtable exploring the use of fixed income instruments to deliver a just transition. The session was an opportunity to bring together bond issuers (including companies and sovereigns) and investors from critical sectors to share practical knowledge and good practice on how to integrate just transition considerations into the issuing of fixed income products and investment solutions. There was strong appetite for integrating just transition imperatives by bond issuers and investors. Whilst this is a nascent topic, it was clear that there was interest by all parties to working closer to find a common approach and surface best practices so that global bonds markets can help deliver a just transition. It was also great to hear from key initiatives and thought leaders in the space – including the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment, Climate Bonds Initiative and ICMA - International Capital Market Association – on the practical resources and tools they have developed to support investors and issuers in their networks in embedding the just transition. We left with three key takeways: 1. There are many existing frameworks that are being used on a daily basis by investors and issuers, and there is a strong potential to bed bed in just transition considerations into them as a quick win. 2. The move towards harmonised reporting on environmental and social outcomes, including in bond instruments, is lead to greater efficiency and opportunities to identify where finance can be most impactful in a delivering a just transition. 3. Nevertheless, issuers and investors want more, and more consistent, data and metrics! Understanding just transition requirements and outcomes can be complex, although there was consensus this should not be a barrier to action. We are grateful to the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing for their partnership on this. You can read the full briefing from the event, including practical insights, tools and case studies to realise a just transition through fixed income instruments, here: https://lnkd.in/euEk6Yj3 #impactinvesting #bonds #fixedincome #justtransition
