Climate Bonds' new paper, prepared for G20 Brasil 2024, details how the steel and cement industries must look towards a strong transition as part of a #net-zero future. https://ow.ly/5isI50SIXWj This is a pivotal time for #steel and #cement, the next decade will be a crucial period and these huge industrial #emitters globally will be crucial to meeting the Paris Agreement objectives. ♻ #Opportunity: Over 70% of coal-based steel blast furnace capacity will need reinvestment by 2030. That means the next five years are our best opportunity to build a sustainable steel industry. 📖 #Policy: Public procurement accounts for up to 25% of steel and 40% of cement global demand. Policymakers hold the keys to driving this transition. ✅ #Plans: Credible transition plans are the means to access private capital required for the transition of both sectors. Credible transition plans support credible investment. Learn how policymakers can speed, steer, and simplify the #transition of these hard-to-abate industries to #netzero. By mobilising private capital and ensuring the transition is both rapid and just, policymakers can capitalise on the tremendous opportunity to build stronger, more sustainable industries. This paper was prepared at the G20 Brasil 2024 Sustainable Finance Working Group request under the Brazilian Presidency and served as input for the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group discussions.

The first few weeks of the UK's new government have seen exciting announcements on the National Wealth Fund, clean energy investment, and accelerated renewables planning. Smart and ambitious sustainable finance policy will unlock private investment and open new opportunities to build a strong, sustainable, and resilient economy in the UK. A new e-book from King's Business School and The University of Edinburgh provides a comprehensive playbook of policies that the new government should prioritise in its first six months to address #climatechange and transform the UK into a #netzero finance hub. Climate Bonds' contribution, authored by Sean Kidney, Magali Caroline Van Coppenolle, and Lily Burge highlights five policies that can transform the City of London into a global hub for green finance. 1️⃣ Include transition pathways in the UK taxonomy The inclusion of transition pathways would position the UK Taxonomy at the forefront of the transition, and, if it is also interoperable with other taxonomies, would make the UK taxonomy world-leading, enabling cross-border capital flows. 2️⃣ Lead the way on adaptation finance by including adaptation and resilience in the UK taxonomy Including clear #resilience criteria will provide much-needed guidance on credible resilience investments in the United Kingdom, enabling alignment of international development finance and forming the basis of productive engagement with and support to emerging market nations. 3️⃣ Introduce transition plan regulations to unlock credible and scalable transition finance Robust #transitionplans can be used as the basis for credible labelled bond issuance, particularly SLBs. Transition plan disclosures not only encourage issuers to make long-term, net-zero-aligned business plans; they also provide a wealth of information to investors and policymakers on the expected impact of these investments. 4️⃣ Build a deeper and broader green gilt programme Linking the green gilt framework to a national transition plan that also includes resilience would provide a clear signal of the UK government’s climate commitments, while also setting out a best-practice example to the market. 5️⃣ Use public financial institutions to crowd in more private investment A focus on catalytic financing maximises the impact of UK Infrastructure Bank, British Business Bank, UK Export Finance, British International Investment, and the planned National Wealth Fund that will target a mobilisation ratio of £3 for every £1 of public investment.
