SEMINAR TIMETABLEFor Expansion of Transition Finance

Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires not only accelerating green investment but also actively financing the decarbonization of the entire economy - including Hard-to-Abate sectors. Recognizing this, the Government of Japan has developed its "Basic Guidelines on Transition Finance" and has been contributing to growth of the market for transition-labeled bonds and loans.
While the importance of transition finance is increasingly acknowledged, a shared international understanding of its practical application is yet to be established. In particular, addressing the financing needs of emerging and developing countries remains an urgent challenge.
Against this background, this seminar will explore broad perspectives on transition finance, including how it can support decarbonization across diverse sectors and regions. Discussions will focus on expanding the adoption of transition finance in areas with high demand for climate transition, and on building frameworks that enable effective and inclusive financial support.
