Transition Finance

Also called: transition bonds, brown to green finance

Transition finance funds high-emitting companies to decarbonise, rather than excluding them. The argument for it is arithmetic: steel, cement and shipping produce a large share of global emissions and cannot be divested into non-existence, so the emissions that matter most are in exactly the companies exclusion screens remove. The risk is that the label funds delay dressed as transition.
