Climate Finance that Delivers: Transition Plans, Effectiveness and Resilience
Friday 13th November, 12:00 to 13:00 (Antalya time), Türkiye Academy Pavilion, Blue Zone
Transition plans are one of the main ways to get the private sector to deliver climate outcomes. A credible plan turns a company’s climate targets into decisions on strategy, capital and operations, and it can also unlock value and strengthen resilience. That makes plans a practical tool for governments’ own climate objectives, including the electrification targets the COP31 Presidency has made a priority. So far, policy has mostly asked companies to disclose their plans, and a growing number of jurisdictions, Türkiye among them, now require ISSB-aligned reporting that covers those plans. The panel looks beyond disclosure at the levers governments and public institutions can use to drive the adoption and use of transition plans: public finance, procurement, emissions trading, and conditions on access to concessional finance and public subsidies. It asks which levers work, how to design them so that they reward credible plans, and how they can work for companies in emerging and developing economies.
