Abstract: This report develops a framework to map the scale and scope of the just transition for private equity and credit funds that have specialist expertise in sustainable and socially responsible investing. It provides evidence to inform the case for continued action on a just transition, examples of emerging practice for investors, and recommendations for policymakers. As private capital assumes a growing share of financing for energy infrastructure – a sector with clear implications for community development, employment and land use – understanding how these investors approach the just transition becomes critical. The report examines how 23 specialist private equity and credit funds embed just transition principles into their energy infrastructure investments, drawing on policy document analysis and semi-structured interviews with fund representatives.
