Transitioning global public funds

LaunchBakuSustainable Policy Institute
Wed 13 Nov 202414:30 - 19:00

To better understand what public funds require to meet net zero, OMFIF’s Sustainable Policy Institute has coordinated a working group with the world’s largest pension and sovereign funds to discuss their investment strategies, challenges and outlook on transition finance. Asset owners are key to providing opportunities for enhancing returns while establishing real-world impact. However, though there is momentum, there is also a lot of uncertainty and challenges with data and information, standards, risk understanding and finding opportunities persist.

OMFIF is launching the Transition Finance Working Group’s first report at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The event brings together 50 attendees from pension and sovereign funds, policy-makers, standard-setters, multilateral development banks, investor banks and asset managers to dive into the report findings, tackle the challenges highlighted and find solutions to move the transition forward.
