How can bond markets finance climate action that delivers tangible benefits for workers and communities?

Hosted by the CEB and convened by LSE’s Just Transition Finance Lab and 103 Ventures, this event presents Financing a Just Transition through the Bond Market, a position paper developed through a year-long, market-led Community of Practice.

The session will explore how just transition objectives can be integrated into existing Green, Social, Sustainability and Climate Transition bonds, rather than creating a separate label. Discussion will focus on credible issuer commitments, links between climate and social outcomes, meaningful stakeholder involvement, and measurable improvements for affected workers and communities.
