The urgency of the climate crisis demands a major reallocation of capital towards low-carbon investments, especially in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs), where industrial growth will shape global emissions. While investors increasingly see climate change as a systemic risk, EMDEs are still perceived as high-risk destinations, limiting private capital flows.
Transition plans can help bridge this gap by offering forward-looking clarity on how companies align with net-zero goals—setting emissions targets, capital strategies, and governance structures to reduce uncertainty and enable better risk pricing. Yet, adoption in EMDEs remains limited, despite growing global disclosure standards.
In response, and under the aegis of London Climate Action Week 2025, IEEFA is hosting a webinar titled ‘De-risking through disclosure: Why EMDE corporates must prioritise transition planning’, to explore how credible transition planning can unlock sustainable capital flows for the Global South.
Speakers will be announced soon.
