What does credible transition finance look like in practice, and how can investors accelerate decarbonisation in the sectors and markets where emissions reductions matter most?
In this session, British International Investment (BII), Norfund and Proparco launched their joint guidance note, Transition Finance in Practice, which sets out a practical approach for identifying, financing and measuring transition investments. The presentation explores how development finance institutions can support the decarbonisation of emissions-intensive industries while ensuring capital is directed towards real-world emissions reductions and long-term economic transformation.
Drawing on insights from across their portfolios, the speakers outline how transition finance can be structured and deployed, how climate outcomes can be measured, and the role of investors in supporting businesses and sectors that are not yet low-carbon but are committed to credible transition pathways. The session provides practical guidance for investors, financial institutions and businesses seeking to move from climate ambition to implementation.
Speakers
Ellen Brookes, Climate Manager, British International Investment
Fredrik Fogde, Senior Manager, Climate & Impact, Norfund
Salome Laviolette, Climate & Biodiversity Impact Officer, Proparco
