The Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics and Climate Bonds Initiative have partnered to assess the needs for bond instruments for a ‘just transition’.

The advent of transition bonds and sustainability-linked Bonds (SLBs) has led to the breadth of projects and activities funded expanding to include transition of hard-to-abate sectors and the use of all bonds is a vital part of the drive to net-zero.

Working together, the collaborative research project will identify and promote the role of bond issuance to drive a just and inclusive transition to net-zero across the globe.

Brendan Curran (pictured), policy fellow (sustainable finance) at Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said: “The next frontier for finance is driving integrated approaches to sustainability. This includes designing financial products that deliver on a just transition.”
