As policymakers and investors move beyond ambition toward implementation, attention is increasingly turning to how capital can support real-economy decarbonisation across sectors. For many asset owners, the challenge lies in translating net-zero commitments into credible, investable strategies that drive measurable progress. 

This presentation will explore the frameworks being developed to support transition finance, including the role of robust sector transition plans in shaping a more practical and actionable net zero narrative. It will highlight the work of the UK Transition Finance Council and the development of the ‘Finance Playbook’, which sets out how to design scalable finance strategies aligned to sector-specific pathways. It will also consider the importance of governance, policy alignment, and cross-sector collaboration in ensuring that transition finance delivers meaningful and measurable outcomes.
