From Plans to Capital: Unlocking Credible Transition Finance at Scale

Scaling transition finance from US$2 trillion to US$6.7 trillion annually by 2030 requires confidence that capital is flowing to companies that are genuinely transitioning. Transition planning data is the cornerstone of this confidence: it provides coherence, comparability, and accountability over time.

This report shows that the data already exists to direct capital credibly, and explains how financial institutions and policymakers can use it. We surface insights on climate transition planning KPIs disclosed by over 12,000 companies through CDP in 2024, aligned with established global initiatives. We also deliver the world’s first aggregated picture of the dependencies underpinning real economy transition plans, revealing what companies need to succeed, and where systemic barriers could stall progress if not addressed.

Financial institutions are using this intelligence to allocate capital, manage risk, and engage clients today. Policymakers can leverage it to identify system-wide barriers and design enabling environments. This is no longer theoretical – it is already being implemented and provides the foundation for scaling action. This report outlines how, and provides case studies of these applications in practice.
