This guide aims to support the achievement of a fair and inclusive transition to a net zero economy (a “just transition”) in emerging and frontier markets. It assists catalytic capital providers, including development finance institutions, governments, philanthropic organisations, private investors, and corporations, in unlocking private capital investments for a just transition that combines climate action with social justice and local development needs.
The guide pays particular attention to how catalytic capital providers can partner with actors, such as fund managers, investees, and communities, based in emerging and frontier markets. It also looks at the use of catalytic instruments in funds and financing vehicles that can mobilise private capital at scale for a just transition.
