Documents to comment on and calls for papers
Among other areas, modern democracies require free, prior, informed consent and regular stakeholder engagement to work. The same applies to the world of sustainable finance. However, even with the best of intentions, it’s not always easy to keep up with opportunities to engage with sustainable finance policies.
​
Which is why we have decided to start to alert you to climate-related financing and financial sector policies - including standard processes - that are open for public comment and are relevant at a global, African and South African level.

Consultation on entity-level Transition Finance Guidelines
​
Deadline: 30 January 2026
​
Following the feedback received through the UK consultation over the summer, the Transition Finance Council has continued to iterate its ‘Transition Finance Guidelines’ to support capital providers identify credible transition finance opportunities.
​
The Guidelines focus on entity level financing in transitioning corporates or real asset operators (or ‘entities’).
The objectives of the Guidelines are to:
-
Create consistent minimum expectations for transition finance - these may be applied to entities across different sectors and jurisdictions, including those without formal transition plans.
-
Allow a practical assessment of credible transition - using Factors to assess the capacity of the entity to deliver expected decarbonisation and financial outcomes in the near- and mediumterm.
-
Complement existing frameworks - be interoperable with existing global and domestic frameworks applicable in different parts of the market for transition finance.
​
For the Guidelines to continue evolving and be globally interoperable, the Transition Finance Council is seeking international input. Our global consultation is open from the 3rd November 2025 until the 30th January 2026.
Visit the Transition Finance Council website or email transitionfinancecouncil@cityoflondon.gov.uk to help shape a market-led solution to scaling transition finance.
Have your say by completing the online form. The global consultation is open until 30 January 2026 at 12:00 GMT.
