Case Studies on Transition Finance and Decarbonization Contribution Methodologies

Resource Description

This resource presents case studies from financial institutions applying transition finance strategies and piloting decarbonization contribution methodologies. It builds on GFANZ voluntary guidance and explores four approaches: Climate Solutions, Aligned, Aligning, and Managed Phaseout.

Why This Matters

With financing needs growing, these examples offer practical insights on mobilizing capital and refining tools to support real-economy decarbonization and net-zero goals.

Key Insights

  • Shows how institutions design transition finance strategies, engage clients, and assess sector risks
  • Introduces Expected Emissions Reductions (EER) as a forward-looking metric to measure decarbonization potential
  • Highlights the role of credible transition plans, regional and sector-specific pathways, and client engagement
  • Stresses capacity building, internal alignment, and transparency to scale effective transition finance
